Is naming a newborn "Muhammad Al-Mustafa" permissible or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to naming a newborn "Muhammad al-Mustafa" because both names are permissible individually, and combining them does not imply anything forbidden. A name is only prohibited by a specific text or if it contains a reprehensible meaning, such as servitude to other than Allah.
