Question:
He says: My mother vowed while she was two months pregnant that if Allah granted her a daughter, she would name her Fatimah, and Allah answered her, but my father refused to use that name, so he named her something else. What is the ruling?
Answer:
If a person vows to do something that is permissible, he has the choice between doing it and paying the expiation for an oath. This woman vowed to name her daughter a specific name, and then she did not name her that. She may change her mind and leave the naming and pay the expiation for her oath. Yes.
