Topic: Naming a Child "Muhammad Zawiyan Hamid"

(No-66071)

Q Mufti Sahib! What is the ruling on naming a son "Muhammad Zawiyan Hamid"?

aIn Arabic, "Zawiyan" (زاویان) can be the dual form of "Zaw" (زاو), meaning "one who bends, wraps, or gathers". While this name is permissible, it is not ideal, as it carries no particularly meaningful or distinguished sense. It would be better to instead name the child after one of the Prophets (peace be upon them all) or one of the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all), or to choose any name that has a good and clear meaning. There is a hadith in Abu Dawud Sharif in which Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said: "On the Day of Judgement you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers, so keep good names." Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
