Naming with the name "Gharam Allah"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is your opinion regarding the name that is widespread among some people, which is "Gharam Allah"?
Answer:
By Allah, I have been asked about this in other places. I do not know the meaning of "Gharam Allah." What is the meaning of "Gharam Allah"? Because the ruling on a matter is contingent upon understanding it. What is the meaning of "Gharam Allah"? If we know the meaning, we will know the ruling. Avoid it in any case; it is better to avoid it. Use Abdullah, Abdur-Rahman, Abd al-Karim, or Dhayf Allah, and so on. These are names that contain no ambiguity. Yes.
Does Allah cause a loss? If the intention is that Allah caused him a loss, or that Allah causes loss, then it is not permissible. They call it "Khalf Allah" instead of "Gharam Allah," or they call it "I'ta Allah." It is not this phrase. "Khalf" is not "Gharam." "Gharam" means you compensate someone for something you destroyed for them. Do you compensate Allah? It is not permissible. This phrase is not permissible. So use a phrase that has no problem, such as Dhayf Allah, I'ta Allah, or Abdullah, and so on. Yes.
