Is it permissible to name a newborn "Bashirullah" (Bringer of good tidings from Allah)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We have not found any of the people of knowledge speaking about the naming of "Bashirullah" (Bishirullah). It appears that its meaning is "one whom Allah made a bearer of good tidings," which is a good meaning. Thus, there is no objection to being named with it.
