Fatwa no. ( 18775 ) All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon the Last of the Prophets. To proceed:The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' has read what was sent to His Eminency, the Grand Mufty, from the Undersecretary Deputy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Part No. 10; Page No. 497) no. 12347-M, dated 27/3/1417 A.H., and referred to the Committee from the Secretariat General of the Council of Senior Scholars no. 1951, dated 10/4/1417 A.H. His Excellency asked about the ruling on using the following names because some citizens submit formal requests to change the names of their sons and daughters, such as Abrar, Iman, Burrah, Jabriel, `Abd-ul-Mu`in. They show us copies of some Fatwas. We need to know the legal ruling on these names and is it obligatory to change them or not? We hope that you will show these name to the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' and inform us of what is issued so that we can do what is required.
