Is it permissible to be named with names such as "Aashiqat al-Rahman" (Lover of the Most Merciful), "Aashiqat al-Rasool" (Lover of the Messenger), and "al-Mutayyamah Billah" (Infatuated with God), knowing that "love" (hubb) is different from "ardent love" (ʿishq) and "infatuation" (huyam), as love is a divine emotion, while ardent love and infatuation fall under sexual desire?
It is not permissible to use names such as "Aashiq Allah" (Lover of God) or "Mutayyam" (Enthralled/Enslaved by love); because they contain ill-manners towards Allah the Almighty, and because they are vulgar terms that are not befitting of the name of Allah or His Messenger. Furthermore, the term "ishq" (passionate love) is not used by the created for the Creator.
