Question

Is it permissible to keep the shop name or business name as "LIMRA". More people are using this name which is short form of "La Ilaha Illallah Muhammadur Rasoolullah" (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Answer

This type of abbreviation is not at all liked.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
