The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page. Please note that we do not issue fatwas, we only compile the opinions of respected scholars (even when a fatwa is not explicitly cited) to make their opinions accessible to English-speaking Muslims. If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Is the name Zayyan Ahnaf al Musawwir appropriate?

Can I keep the name Zayyan Ahnaf al Musawwir or al Musawwir for a baby boy?

It is best to use Abd al-Musawwir rather than al-Musawwir because al-Musawwir is one of the names of God and it is not clear if it is appropriate for humans. Zayyan Ahnaf is appropriate.
