What is the ruling on naming a son "Afrit" such as "Afrit Ibrahim" or "Afrit Salim"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The ifrit is one of the names for jinn, and among their most malicious. If a jinn increases in malice, it is called a shaytan (devil); if it increases further, it is called a marid (rebellious devil); and if it increases even more, it is called an ifrit. Naming children with this name is offensive and impermissible.
