Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to name my son Daniel? And is there a prophet with this name?

Answer:
Yes, there is a prophet with this name, but Muslims do not use this name. Do not name him with it.
