Is it permissible to name a boy "Muhammad Mustafa" as a compound name?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in naming a boy "Muhammad Mustafa" because both names are permissible individually, and there is no prohibition in combining them. Their combination does not result in a forbidden meaning, such as servitude to other than Allah or self-praise.
