Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a man to name his son after his own name?
The Shaykh:
There is no meaning to a third, yes.
The questioner:
And is there anyone among the Companions who named his son after himself other than 'Abdullah ibn Abi Salul?
The Shaykh:
I do not know, Allah knows best, but there is nothing wrong with it.
