The ruling on naming some commercial establishments “Al-Bayt al-Ma’mur”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on naming commercial establishments, such as a restaurant, “Al-Bayt al-Ma’mur”?

Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah. It is not permissible to name it Al-Bayt al-Ma’mur. They said that Al-Bayt al-Ma’mur is in the sky, opposite the Ka’bah; it is a house that the angels perform tawaf around and enter, being equal to or opposite the Noble Ka’bah. Therefore, this name is not permissible. It is permissible to name your shop the Ka’bah, or to name your store the Ka’bah, or your house. This [name] is not permissible. Yes.
