Topic: Naming a Child Qeedaar or Qidaar

(No-65938)

Q Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib! Is it correct to name a boy Qeedaar? And what does the name mean? Please provide guidance.

aThe word "Qeedaar" (قیدار) is meaningless. "Qidaar" (قِدار, without the ya) was the name of the wretched man who killed the she-camel of Hazrat Salih (peace be upon him). For this reason, instead of naming a child Qeedaar or Qidaar, a name should be chosen from among the names of the Prophets (peace be upon them) or the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all). Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
