The Theory of Proving the Parents of Prophets Free from Shirk:
Some people say that the real name of Sayyiduna Ibrahim’s ؑ father was Tarah, and Azar was his title. Then he became more famous by the title. And some say that his real name was Azar and Tarah was the title. These are matters in which there is no need for anyone to differ. But those who say that the name of Sayyiduna Ibrahim’s ؑ father was Tarah and Azar was the name of his uncle, and they give the reason that a prophet’s father cannot be a polytheist—this is, firstly, against the apparent words of the Quran, and secondly, the reason given is based on a false premise upon another false premise. This is because the time when prophets are sent is precisely when disbelief, polytheism, and mischief and corruption have become widespread in the world. And the only exceptions to this rule are those prophets whose exception has been explicitly mentioned in the Quran or Hadith. For example, Sayyiduna Ibrahim’s ؑ sons Ismail and Ishaq (peace be upon them), and their sons and grandsons, i.e., Yaqub and Yusuf (peace be upon them), all were prophets, or Sulayman’s ؑ father Dawud ؑ was a prophet. Apart from these prophets, to prove that the fathers or both parents of other prophets were not polytheists is such an unnecessary effort that even after making the effort, it cannot be proven.
