Fathwa, - The permissibility of naming child ..

Question
Assalamualaikum my question is regarding name. I named my son Shareed,
the name was found by my dad in Riyazus saliheen which had reference
to Abu Dawood. I would like to know the meaning of this name and is it
permissible to name the child with this name. The reference to the
hadees where the name is mentioned is-chapter no.5 and hadees no. 824
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His Slave and Messenger.
The meaning of the name "Shareed" according to the book entitled
Az-Zaahir fi Ma'rifat Kalimaat An-Naas byAl-Anbaariis as follows,
"There are two possible meanings for the word "Shareed": it may refer
to a person who flees. Arabs use the past tense "sharad" to describe
the stray camel if it flees from its master. Al-Asma'i )renowned Arab
scholar and anthologist, one of the earliest Arabic lexicographers and
one of the three leaders of the Basri school of Arabic grammar( said
that it means: 'the singular'." ]Briefly excerpted[
As for the religious ruling on giving your child this name, there is
no apparent impediment because it is not an Islamically unacceptable
name. The criteria for considering a name forbidden or disliked
according to the Islamic Sharee'ah are the following:
The name should not express worship of, enslavement or submission to
any other than Allaah such as'Abd Ar-Rasool)slave of the Messenger(.
It should not be one of the names that are particular to Allaah or an
attribute of Allaah with the Arabic definite article "Al-" such
asAr-Rahmaan,Al-'Aleem, andMalik Al-Mulook)King of kings(, etc. It
should not have an unpleasant meaning; and it should not imply
self-praise.
Allaah Knows best.
