The Ruling on Naming a Child Maryam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Salib, and we ask Allah the Exalted to make your knowledge beneficial. Is it permissible for a man to sing to his wife? What is the ruling on naming a child Maryam, referring to Maryam the Copt? And what is requested of the Shaykh is to make a supplication to facilitate a job for him? Yes.
Answer:
Naming a child Maryam is permissible; it is a permissible name. The default ruling for names is permissibility, except for those that involve imitating the disbelievers, such as the names of the disbelievers, or those that imply servitude to other than Allah, like 'Abd al-Husayn or 'Abd al-Masih, or others. It is not permissible to use names implying servitude to other than Allah, such as 'Abd al-Ka'bah; that is forbidden. As for names that do not involve imitating the disbelievers and do not imply servitude to other than Allah, there is nothing wrong with them. Yes, and I have heard the question.
