Naming a child Maalik
Question
Are we permitted to name a child Maalik?
Answer
We haven’t found any prohibition preventing us from keeping the name Maalik. Moreover, the word Maalik means “owner” which does not have a negative meaning. Hence, it is permissible to keep such a name. [Re: Qaamusul Waheed Vol.2 Pg. 158]

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
