[The ruling on naming (Rinane)]
Is there any religious objection to a person naming his daughter (Rinane)?The Shaykh: The default ruling regarding naming is permissibility, but what is the meaning of (Rinane)?The questioner: Some linguistic references, such as Lisan al-Arab and Majma' al-Muqayyas al-Lughah, seem to indicate that it is the name of a type of fragrance; they say its singular form is: al-Rundah.
The Shaykh: "Rindah" is not the singular form of "Rinane"; if it were "Rinah," that might be possible.
In any case, look into it; if this is the only option available among names, then I permit it for you. However, if there is still a problem with the matter, it should be left.
