Is it permissible to name children with Allah's names, such as Mu'min, Karim, and Halim?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to being named with names such as Mu'min (Believer), Kareem (Generous), and Haleem (Forbearing), because these names carry a shared meaning that applies to Allah and to others. They are fitting for each in a manner appropriate to them.
