Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on naming some medical centers and institutes after Ibn Sina and al-Farabi?

There is nothing wrong with it, because Ibn Sina was a specialist in medicine. So if they observe that he was a specialist in medicine, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if they believe that he was a righteous man, that is not permissible.
