Naming with the name Yusra
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 7056 )
Q: I seek your ruling, Your Eminence, that I have a daughter who is now four years old. When she was born, her mother, who was in a coma during labor, saw a man of handsome appearance wearing white clothes. He said to her literally: "O my daughter, with hardship comes ease, with hardship comes ease. Name her Yusra." However, I did not comply with what she told me, thinking that a good dream does not come to a woman in labor. I named the girl Fatimah. But the child herself now does not accept any name other than Yusra, and even when called by her name, she gets angry and screams. Her younger siblings, whose ages range from one and a half to three years old, do not call her anything but Yusra. Therefore, I ask for your ruling on whether it is obligatory to change her name from Fatimah to Yusra based on the aforementioned dream, or not? May Allah reward you with the best reward in this world and the Hereafter.
A: It is permissible to change the name from Fatimah to Yusra, whether the dream is true or not. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
