Keeping the names of angels for one’s children

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible to name children with the names of angels?

Bismillaah

A: Keeping the names of the angels is makrooh. One should refrain from keeping these names. It is best that one keeps the names of the Ambiyaa (Alayhimus Salaam), the Sahaabah (Radiyallahu Anhum) and the pious of the past.

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