What is the ruling on naming a son "Al-Warith" (The Inheritor/The Heir)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Al-Warith" (The Inheritor) is one of the shared names that can be applied to Allah Almighty and to a created being. It is permissible to be named "Warith" if it is free of the definite article "Al-", but if it is coupled with it, then it is safer to avoid being named with it.
