Summary
Naming a child Dayyan Eijaz is permissible. Dayyan carries meanings such as the one who passes and carries out judgment, who repays deeds, and al-Qahhar, and it is also mentioned as a name of Allah. Eijaz means brevity, or few words carrying much meaning. The name has no bad meaning and is not prohibited by the Shariah, which encourages giving children good names.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan, kami berpandangan bahawa penamaan anak dengan nama Dayyan Eijaz adalah dibolehkan.
