Question
Is it permissible to keep the name Dhiraar which means to cause harm?
Answer
Since Dhiraar was the name of a Sahaabi, and Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) upheld its validity, it is permissible to keep this name. In the context of this permissibility, Dhiraar means causing harm (dharar) to the kuffaar.
