Naming the newborn

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is naming the newborn a right of the husband or a right of the wife?

Answer:
It is a right of both. It is best if they consult on it. Otherwise, the father of the newborn has the stronger right, but it is best if they consult.
