The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
A friend of mine like to name his newborn son as "Ahad bin Asif".
Answer
The word 'Ahad' is the first number of the numerical order which means One.
In the context of defining Allah Ta'ala, it means Allah is One and He has no partner. It is incorrect to name anyone Ahad as it is the sole quality of Allah Ta'ala.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
