Can I name my company Seven 86?
Question
Asslamalaikum , hope this finds you well. I previously asked a question about keeping the name. Seven 86. For my clothes company. This name will be printed on the jackets, shirts, jubbas etc and I am still waiting for a reply. I would really appreciate if you could get back asap.
Jazakallah
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.
Seven 86 does not represent Bismillah.
You may keep your company’s name Seven 86.[1]
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
