· 10 Rabiʻ I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Allah has blessed me with a baby boy. I want to keep his name Muhammad Aadil. Aadil is one of the siffaat of Nabi-e-Kareem Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Is it a good name?

My son is born on Monday afternoon at 3:30 pm. Now I want to calculate the 7th day. If I count Monday then 7th day will fall on Sunday. Is it right? Or I must start counting from Tuesday then 7th day will fall on coming Monday.

Answer

You may keep this name.

The seventh day is Sunday.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
