Question

I have a question related to my son. He is 3 years old. His name is Mohammad Ali. He is extremely naughty, stubborn and very agressive. I need your advice whether to change his name or not.

Answer

There is nothing wrong with the 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.
