Is it permissible to keep the name Dhiraar which means to cause harm?

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.
