Is it permissible to name a commercial store "Peace Markets" (Aswaq Al-Salam) if there is an objection to the permissibility of this naming, on the grounds of adding "market" to one of Allah's Most Beautiful Names?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in naming commercial shops "Aswaq al-Salam" (Markets of Peace), because safety, salvation, security, and well-being are among the linguistic meanings of the word "Salam." Moreover, some of Allah's names are not exclusive to Him, the Exalted, and it is permissible for a created being to be named with them.
