Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned yesterday that naming a girl Malak is forbidden. The question is that we have a girl who is fourteen years old, so what do we do about her name now?

Answer:
It is easy. Change her name now. Change it from Malak to Hafsa or Maryam or Fatima. There is nothing wrong with this. The matter is easy. Yes.
