Keeping a company name “OM”

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Our society name starts with OM which is a Hindu word for beginning any work. Will it be shirk if I have to write a check with that name?

Bismillaah

A: Try your best to avoid this. If these words are symbols of Hinduism and have shirki connotations then obviously it will amount to shirk, like the cross for christians.

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