Naming charitable institutions, hospitals, and Qur'an memorization centers after some Muslim figures


391

Q: Is it permissible to name charitable institutions, hospitals, and Qur'an memorization centers after Muslim figures; such as the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet), Tabi`un (Followers, the generation after the Companions of the Prophet), and other guided Imams and Mujahidun (ones striving/fighting in the Cause of Allah) leaders?


A: There is no objection to naming charitable institutions, hospitals, and Qur'an memorization centers after Muslim figures; such as Sahabah, Tabi`un, and their succeeding (Part No. 26; Page No. 384) guided Imams and Mujahidun leaders. This is not a Bid`ah (innovation in religion); in fact it is Mubah (permissible). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
