Topic: Naming a Child Fahan

(No-65972)

Q Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib. What is the ruling on naming a child Fahan?

aDespite extensive research, no meaning could be found for the name "Faahaan" (فاحان). Therefore, instead of this name, a name from among those of the Prophets (alayhimus salam) or the Sahabah Kiraam (ridwanullahi alayhim ajmaeen) should be chosen. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
