Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: Is it permissible to name children after the names of the angels?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but females should not be named with them, because some people name a girl "Malak" (angel); it is not permissible to name a girl with the name of an angel. Yes. As for a male, he may be named Jibril; it is said there is no harm in that; he may be named Malik, and Malik is also one of the names of the angels. Yes.
