Question Summary: Adding the name Muhammad before the son’s name. Question Detail:
I would just like to know if it would be advisable to add Mohammed before the babies name. So instead of Furqaan, can we name the baby Mohammed Furqaan?
Answer :
Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Yes, It is appropriate for you to add Muhammad before your son’s name. Allamah Ibn Abidīn rahimahullah alayh mentions in Raddul Muhtār that Muhammad and Ahmed are one of beloved names to Allah Ta’ala since Allah Ta’ala chose them for His beloved Nabi salallahu alayhi wasallam. However, if you chose to give the name “Furqān” to the baby, there is no harm in doing so.

Darul Iftaa Building Project
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
We make Du’aa you are well. The Darul Iftaa was established in the year 2011. The fundamental objective of the Darul Iftaa is to train Ulama from various parts of the world to become Muftis. In this world of scientific calculations and technological advancements, economic confusion and political disarray, a Mufti is trained to understand and analyze current situations and provide leadership for the Ummah. There is a vacuum of competent Muftis in various parts of the world. The Ummah lacks leadership. There are currently twelve students who are studying at the Darul Iftaa. They are from United States of America, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Jamaica, Zambia, Canada and South Africa. There are many Ulama from many parts of the world who have applied to study the Iftaa course. They could not be accommodated due to lack of adequate facilities. The Darul Iftaa has therefore embarked on an expansion project.
The Darul Iftaa requests your generous contributions for the expansion project. The building project has already begun and is expected to be completed within the next three months. This is indeed a great opportunity for you to earn Sawab e Jariyah in the Aakhirah. This is a tree with many branches bearing sweet fruits for your Aakhirah. Insha’Allah. The Darul Iftaa banking details are as follows:
Bank: FNB Bank Account#: 62347912778 Branch: 221126
(The Darul Iftaa is registered and has the following PBO exemption number: 930039227 – 3 May 2012)
JazakAllah.
Mufti Ebrahim Desai
