What is the ruling on naming with the name Adam, is it recommended, what is the share of one who is named with it, and is that considered imitation of non-Arabs?
Firstly: Naming with "Adam" is permissible and desirable, as it is one of the names of the prophets. It does not constitute imitating non-Arabs, and many scholars, both ancient and modern, have been named with it.
Secondly: Names have an influence on their bearers, but this is not a permanent rule. The decisive factor lies in the reality of the named individual, their actions, and their heart, not merely their name.
