Naming a Child Tahrim
(No-66072)
Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib! What is the ruling on the name Tahrim? My sister, who is ten or twelve years old, has this name. I have heard that it is not a suitable name. Should we change it? Please guide us.
"Tahrim" (تحریم) means "to make something forbidden" or "to prohibit". Given this meaning, the name is not suitable. It should be avoided, and a good name should be chosen in its place.
Allah the Almighty knows best.
