Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade these names while observing etiquette and respect.
Then, from a legal and jurisprudential perspective, he intended to prohibit them.
However, this intention was not put into practice, nor was a definitive order issued to prohibit them,
until he departed from this transient world.
