What is the ruling on naming food "Al-Haleem" or by other of Allah's Beautiful Names?
The names of Allah Almighty are divided into two categories: The first is exclusive to Allah, and it is not permissible for a created being to be named with it, such as "Allah" and "Al-Ahad." Examples of this include the names of the Lord, such as "Al-Qahir" (The Subduer) and "Al-Jabbar" (The Compeller). The second category consists of shared names that a created being may be named with, such as "Kareem" (Generous), "Haleem" (Forbearing), and "Raheem" (Merciful). The Companions were named with some of these names, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not change them. Based on this, there is no harm in naming some foods "Haleem" because it is a shared name and not exclusive to Allah Almighty.
