Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to name a child Huda?
Answer:
Is it for a male or a female? It is widespread. There is no naming Huda, there is no doubt. What is forbidden is naming someone Dalal (misguidance) or Kufr (disbelief), but naming someone Huda (guidance) and Iman (faith) is good. Yes.
