Bearing the name Fat-h-ul-Bary

(Part No. 11; Page No. 469) A: It is permissible to use the name which is mentioned in the question 'Fath-ul-Bari'. This name is not prohibited because it means Fadl (a favor) or Fath (a victory) from the Creator (Glorified and Exalted be He). However, if you would like to change your son's name to another such as `Abd-ul-Rahman or `Abdullah; you are permitted to do so.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
