Q: Allah has blessed me with a daughter whom I named (Rama). Then, trustworthy brothers informed me that it is the name of one of the gods in India, and I confirmed this from the global Wikipedia encyclopedia on the internet. What is the ruling on naming with this name, and is it obligatory for me to change it?
A: Naming with (Rama), where the end is a madd (elongated) alif, is not permissible; because it is the name of one of the deities worshipped by the polytheists of India .
