The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: I want to name my son and my daughter with the names 'Arafah, Mina, Mika'il, Israfil, Malik, and Ridwan. Are these names permissible?
The Shaykh:
The names of the angels are not used for naming; one does not name with the names of the angels, such as Jibril and Mika'il. And is it permissible to name with this? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and this...
The Shaykh:
As for naming with Mina and 'Arafah, what is the reason for this? Have the names run out? Is the capacity of names limited to anything other than these names? Yes.
