The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for me to name my daughter Rahil?
The Shaykh:
With a lam.
The questioner:
No, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
Rahil.
The Shaykh:
Yes, what is the last letter, a lam or a mim?
The questioner:
The last letter is a lam.

A lam, and what is the obstacle? It does not carry a disliked name, or rather, it does not carry a disliked meaning, yes.
