The ruling on naming a newborn Samir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to name a newborn Samir? And does Samir fall under the dislike mentioned in the noble verse, “Samir that you abandon,” where it was mentioned in the context of distraction?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. What is mentioned in the verse is *ghina* (singing), and *ghina* is the music that distracts one from the remembrance of Allah the Exalted. As for naming a child Samir, there is no harm in that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
