Is it permissible to name someone "Muhammad Subhan"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in being named "Muhammad Subhan," but it is preferable to forgo "Subhan" because it means glorification (tanzih) and is a word that always comes with an annexation (idafah); it carries no meaning if isolated.
