Is it permissible to name a Facebook account with the pseudonym "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the name "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) is given to a website, and the intention behind it is to express gratitude to Allah for the existence of this website and the benefit it contains, then there is no legal impediment to it in principle. However, this website and others—even if they contain benefits—are not free from many legal prohibitions due to their use by corrupt individuals. Therefore, it is appropriate to keep the expressions of lawful praise free from being used to name such websites.
