The name Jibril for a child

[Samir07]

El salam alaikum,
We are wondering my wife and I if the name Jibril is sutable for a child?
We know that there is no Hadith sahih that says that but aparently some scholars say that it is forbiden.

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

The name Jibra'el can be given to a child, only that it should be combined with another name. For example when the name Muhammad is given to a child, it is combined with another name. Similarly, Jibra'el is also a name which needs the combination of another name.


Jazak'allah for your question.
