The questioner:
This questioner asks about the ruling on naming girls with these names: Jouri, Dana, Ghayah, and Ghaliyah. Is it permissible? These names, may Allah reward you, is it permissible to name them with them? He says: Jouri
The Shaykh:
Jouri? Yes, indeed.
The questioner:
And Dana, and Ghayah, and Ghaliyah, is it permissible to name girls with these names?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Any name that does not contain servitude to other than Allah is fine. What is forbidden is what contains servitude to other than Allah, such as 'Abd al-Husayn, or 'Abd al-Rasul, or 'Abd so-and-so, or 'Abd al-Amir, or the like. This is forbidden and not permissible. Or 'Abidah so-and-so the Amir, or 'Abidah al-Husayn, or 'Abidah this one. This is not permissible. Servitude to other than Allah is forbidden by consensus.
As for names that do not contain servitude to other than Allah, there is no objection, but it is better to choose a good name, to choose a good name. This is better. Yes, so there is nothing wrong with these names, though it is better to choose one better than them. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. And he asks.
The Shaykh:
And for the family to name [their children] with the names of their fathers and mothers, this is better. For the family to name [their children] with the names of their fathers and mothers, and their grandfathers and grandmothers, this is better and more excellent for the sake of bonding. Yes.
