The ruling on naming a child Hisham and 'Amr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to name a child Hisham?
Answer:
What is the obstacle? There is no obstacle. If his name is Hisham, he may name his son 'Amr, and there is nothing wrong with that. That is, it is not said that "Amr ibn Hisham" matches the name of Abu Jahl. This does no harm; names do not cause harm.
