Question:

I would like to know if its right to name a child after the angels?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is no objection to giving names of angels to children as there is no objection to giving good names like names of Prophets or the names of Paradise.

For more benefit on naming children with names of angels, please refer to Fatwa 85225.

Also, for more benefit on naming children with good names, please refer to Fataawa 82724, 87262, 88553 and 87596.

Allah knows best.
