Naming with the Name Khalid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 6989 )
Q1: Whatis the ruling on naming a child Khalid,given that eternity belongs to Allah alone and not to any of His creation, and why did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not change the name ofKhalid ibn al-Walid ؟
A1: It is permissible to name someone Khalid, because the concept of eternity here is relative, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved this name. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
