Is naming a child "Jihad, Hani, Amjad, Adeem" contrary to Islamic law, or disliked?
It is preferred to name children with good names such as "Abdullah" and "Abdul-Rahman," and girls with the names of the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم daughters, wives, and female companions. There is no objection to naming with other names as long as there is no prohibition in them. The mentioned names (Jihad, Hani, Amjad, Adeem) have no Sharia prohibition, and their meanings are as follows:
- Jihad: Fighting against the enemy, or exerting one's utmost effort, and striving against the self.
- Hani: One who is at rest, tranquil, and joyful.
- Amjad: Derived from "Majd" (glory), it means chivalry, generosity, and honor.
- Adeem: The surface of the earth, and it is used to describe a dark-skinned person.
