Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A group of boys and girls says to me, and I have named these girls and boys with names from the Qur'an. Is there any harm in that?
The Shaykh:
There is no need for this affectation. How are the names of the Qur'an? What are the names by which He named them from the names of the Qur'an?
The questioner:
To mean.
The Shaykh:
I mean the words.
The questioner:
For the honorable one.
The Shaykh:
With the words of the Qur'an, there is no harm, except for what is not suitable for them, such as naming her Mala'ikah (angel), where mala'ik means an angel from the angels, or naming her with a male name. Is this not permissible? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
