"Al-Hadi" is one of Allah's Beautiful Names, affirmed in the Holy Qur'an, as Allah Almighty says: (And sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and a Helper). There is no objection to naming humans with this name, as it is not among the names exclusive to Allah Almighty. It is preferable to name "Hadi" without the definite article "Al-". Based on this, there is no impediment to naming a son "Muhammad Hadi".
