Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned, and he said: And regarding Fatimah al-Zahra, he says: What is the ruling on calling Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) al-Zahra? And what is the meaning of this title?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Al-Zahra is from al-zahr, which is light, because she (may Allah be pleased with her) is, rather, she is the best of women, from the noblest of women. So the meaning of al-zahr here is radiance and light, for what Allah gave her of excellence, being the daughter of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), the beloved of the Messenger. Yes.
