The ruling on naming a child Jibril
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to name a child Jibril?
The Shaykh:
Yes. Does Shaykh Ibn Jibril mean that it is sinful to do so? It does not contradict the name Jibril.
The questioner:
With the lam, O Shaykh, with the lam: Jibril, Jibrail.
The Shaykh:
It is Jibrail, with the nun, not with the alif. Yes.
