Calling hospitals and Qur’an schools by the names of prominent Muslims
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Is it permissible to call charitable projects, hospitals, Qur’aan schools and so on by the names of prominent Muslims, such as the Sahaabah, Taabi’een and those who came after them such as guided imams and leaders of jihad, or not?.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with calling charitable projects, hospitals, Qur’aan schools and so on by the names of prominent Muslims, such as the Sahaabah, Taabi’een and those who came after them such as guided imams and leaders of jihad. This calling is not a kind of innovation in any way; rather it is something that is permissible.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
