The Ruling on Naming Mosques After Men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there a prohibition against naming mosques after men?

Answer:
There is no meaning to it; naming a mosque after Abu Bakr, a mosque after 'Umar, or a mosque after such-and-such is done so that it is known and distinguished from others. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
