It is permissible to be named "Hala," as female companions were named this and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not order its change. However, it is not permissible to add this name to the majestic word "Ar-Rahman" (The Most Merciful) or any other of Allah's Most Beautiful Names, because "Hala" (halo/aura) is not among Allah's attributes. Thus, being named "Hala Ar-Rahman" or "Noor Allah" (Light of Allah) is not permissible. Similarly, it is not permissible to be named with anything that implies self-praise, such as "Hala Ar-Rahman" or "Noor Al-Izzah" (Light of Glory), due to the suggestion of self-commendation therein.
