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 Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

It is easy for us to suggest a name for this project or for you to find a suitable name for it; however, this should not be your concern because there are things that deserve more to be thought about, which is whether or not the money that you earn from this project will be lawful.

What we know is that the work in hotel services includes some prohibitions that are often linked to it, especially if this is in a non-Muslim country or that most of the visitors of the hotel are non-Muslims.

Indeed, we have already issued Fataawa 89369 and 96295 clarifying some of these prohibitions.

If this is the case, a Muslim should avoid investing in this field and it is not permissible for him to undertake such an investment unless he is certain that it is free from these prohibitions.

However, you should know that Allaah abundantly offered provisions to His Slaves, and he facilitated many means of lawful earnings. A Muslim is only required to make every effort and do his best to search for those lawful earnings, and what is best for him will be facilitated, Allaah willing.  Allaah Says (what means): {And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).  And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.}[Quran 65:2-3]  Furthermore, Imaam Ahmad  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him reported that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “You do not leave anything out of fear of Allaah, except that Allaah will compensate you with something better.

Allaah Knows best.
