Writing Names On The Ground

It will be disrespectful for one to write his name on the ground. There is a possibility that name can be trample upon.i Fuqaha (Jurists) write that names have letters and letters have to be shown respect. Adab (etiquettes) demands that we should respect the letters.ii Letters are the means of knowledge and everything with regards to knowledge must be respected (e.g. pen, paper, desk etc.) So, writing one’s name will fall in this category. It is best for one to refrain from doing such acts either you mean it to be your name or not. If the name has the name of Allah Ta’ala or the name of a Nabi, then all the more reason, it should be respected on not written on the ground.
