Embroidering Names on Musallahs
Question
Is it permissible to use a Musallah with the name “Humairah” embroidered in Arabic, on it? This name is a title of the beloved wife of our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam hence, will it be considered as disrespectful since the Musallah will be placed on the ground?
Answer
One should avoid using such a Musallah as this would be tantamount to showing disrespect. Merely placing such a Musallah on the floor with this name, is disrespect to the noble wife of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Moreover, at times, one may walk on it or a child may trample upon it etc. Allah Ta’ala says in the Quraan Majeed:
“And whosoever honours the symbols (salient fearures) of Allah, then it is indeed from the piety of the heart.”
