The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man named al-Nu'aym says:
The Shaykh:
Nu'aym with a mīm? Yes. He has been blessed with a daughter, and he wants to name her Jannat. What Allah willed, what Allah willed.
The questioner:
Is that permissible, and is there any issue with it?
The Shaykh:
They are all gardens, him and his daughters. No name is used except for these kinds of exaggerations. Yes.
