Naming with Iman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 16819 )
Q: I have a daughter named Iman, and I heard that this name is prohibited by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I ask you to inform me about the permissibility of naming her with this name, and whether there is a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibiting it, and what is its text?
A: There is nothing wrong with naming her Iman, and there is no authenticity to what is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the prohibition of it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
