Is it permissible to name my son as Michelle or daughter as Suzzane?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is it Haram, Makrouh, or permissible to name my son as Michelle or daughter as Suzzane?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1388/1228=B)

These names are from any other language and resemble the names of non-Muslims; they are not Islamic names. It is not right to follow the way of non-Muslim people. Naming after the prophets and sahaba is better.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband

This answer was collected from the official ifta website of Darul Uloom Deoband in India.
