The ruling on using the name "A'hal" and its meaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to use the name "A'hal," and what is the meaning of "A'hal"?

Answer:
"Al-'Ahd" (the covenant), I think, refers to the lion or the predator. "Al-A'hal" is one of the names for predators or lions. They compare it to that; they compare it to the lion or the brave one.
