Keeping the name Abdullah
Question
I want to use name Abdullah for newborn. Is it ok considering the child will not be able to give adequate care to protect Allah's name in his books, school papers, etc. To avoid desecration during growing up years bound to be thrown around, is it better to use another name or is it allowed?
Answer
If you are apprehensive of this then you rather give another name.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
