[The Ruling on Naming Oneself (Abd al-Jabir, Abd al-Nasir, Iman, and Layla)]
What is the ruling on naming someone (Abd al-Jabir), (Abd al-Nasir), (Iman), and (Layla)? We have heard that it is not permissible.
As for (Iman), I do not see it as permissible. The wisdom is that it contains self-praise from one angle, and it contains a reminder, whereas the woman is the one being named. The rest have nothing wrong with them; in fact, they are permissible. And (Abd al-Nasir) is permissible, unless the intention behind it is seeking blessing from the tyrant of Egypt.
