Naming a child Sakhur

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on naming a child Sakhur?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but it is better to choose a good name. The best of names are 'Abdullah and 'Abd al-Rahman. Choose a good name, and the best of them is one that worships Allah the Exalted. A good name is one that worships Allah the Exalted. If he names him Sahr, or Marrah, or 'Uqaymah, or the like, there is nothing wrong with it, but they say it is disliked because it is not a good name. Yes.
