Summary
The name Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Khalil is stated to be a good name. The condition is that al-Khalil is not attached to Allah. This is because the title khalil, meaning beloved friend, is a special title Allah gave to Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
InshaAllah itu merupakan satu nama yang baik, tanpa menyandarkan al-Khalil itu kepada Allah, sehingga menyerupai gelaran khusus yang Allah berikan kepada Nabi Ibrahim AS dan Nabi Muhammad SAW yang bermaksud Kekasih.
