The Ruling on Naming Oneself "Asinat"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Bilal. He says: I have been blessed with a small newborn girl, and I want to name her Asinat. As far as I know, this is the name of the wife of the Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him). Is this permissible for me?
Answer:
I do not know the meaning of Asinat, nor do I know that this is the name of the wife of Yusuf (peace be upon him). If you verify its meaning and confirm that it is the name given to the wife of Yusuf (peace be upon him), then there is no harm. A name that does not contain a bad meaning and is not a name of worship for other than Allah is permissible, unless it involves imitating the disbelievers or using the names of the disbelievers. This imitation is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
