What is the ruling on being named "Sweeter Than Houris" on websites and forums?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic ruling is that it is permissible to use this name, because righteous women from this world are superior and more beautiful than the Houris of Paradise. The scholars have permitted statements that involve an exaggerated impossibility in the usual sense. However, it is advisable to avoid using this type of name in forums, as it might lead to some men becoming attached and desiring to converse with them.
