My child's name is (Jasser). What is the ruling on this name?

There is no religious impediment to naming a child "Jasir," as it is not among the names dispraised by Islamic law. The root word "J-S-R" in Arabic denotes execution, implementation, courage, venturing forth, and height. Naming with this name is a form of optimism, so there is no objection to it.
