The ruling on naming a child Al-Ahla and its meaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to name a child Al-Ahla

The Shaykh:
with the intention of Al-Ahla?

The questioner:
And what is the meaning of Al-Ahla?

The Shaykh:
Al-Ahla, I think, is the lion or the beast of prey. Al-Ahla is one of the names for beasts of prey and lions; they liken it to that, likening it to the lion or the brave one.
