Naming a bookstore after Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen
Question

                I have opened up a bookshop for selling school stationary, photocopies, novels and Islamic books. I named my bookshop after one of the Muslim scholars; Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaimeen.  

A brother said to me that it is not permissible to do this. Is that correct? Should I change this name?.
Praise be to Allah.
    There is nothing wrong with naming the bookstore after Shaykh 
    Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) or after anyone else who is 
    known for his knowledge, religious commitment, jihad and so on. There is no 
    reason why one should not do this, rather that is keeping their names alive 
    and reminding people of their virtue and good influence, so long as the name 
    is not that of one of people of innovations and deviance, etc., and so long 
    as the bookstore will not sell forbidden things that would reflect badly on 
    the name of the Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him). 

    This is something that people do. Bookstores have been named 
    after Ibn Taymiyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Dhahabi and others, and no scholars 
    have objected to that. 

    And Allaah knows best.
