Fatwa #732230 November 2002United Kingdom
what is the meaning of my name `MANAF AHMED', I have been told to change Manaf, please advise?
Answer
Manaaf is the name of an idol to which the pre-Islamic used to pray. (Taajul Uroos vol.12 pg.515)
It is, therefore, necessary to change this name.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
