How should one act if he has named his child with an unsightly name?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is all from the chapter of supplication and the one who supplicates, and so on from this chapter. O Allah, guide us among those You have guided.
The questioner : Do you mean you intend to change the name, or may Allah forgive what has passed?
The Shaykh : No, if the matter is possible.
The questioner : It is possible, but there is nothing that is not possible.
The Shaykh : But look, changing it is not easy, but add to this name a legitimate name that is used locally within the family, meaning.
The questioner : Yes, another name.
The Shaykh : It should be dispensed with as much as possible, and this is a matter of what? Softening the deviation.
