Is it permissible to name an Islamic website "Muhammad, Messenger of Allah" given the possibility of human errors on the site, and what might be considered an insult to the Prophet?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is seen that naming an Islamic website "Muhammad, Messenger of Allah" signifies its engagement with the guidance and Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or his biography, or defending him. This is not an offense; rather, a Muslim is rewarded for it. It is not intended that what is issued by the website is from the Prophet himself. There is no harm in the naming in principle, especially if those in charge of it are people of knowledge. However, to avoid confusion, it is advised to avoid this naming, or to add what clarifies the intent, such as "Website for the Support of Muhammad, Messenger of Allah" or "Defense."
