Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: One of my female relatives is named Ayah. Is it obligatory to change this name? And is it considered an Ayah?
Answer:
It is not a Qur'anic Ayah; it is a cosmic Ayah. Ayahs are of two types: cosmic Ayahs and Qur'anic Ayahs. He probably means that it is an Ayah, meaning it is one of Allah's creations. Yes.
