Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: May Allah bless me with a daughter, and I named her Ghala. Is there a religious prohibition in this name according to the Wise Lawgiver?
The Shaykh:
There is no "ghala" (exaggeration) or "ghuluw" (extremism) in it. "Ghala" is not a problem; it is just that it is precious to you, and she is inexpensive. There is no issue.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence.
The Shaykh:
This is permissible. Yes.
