Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May I ask a question?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : It is regarding the child. Praise be to Allah, our Lord has blessed me with a daughter.
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner : I want to ask if it is permissible for someone to name his daughter Nur, with the name Nur?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : It is not permissible?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : What about Nawwarah? I mean, if, my mother’s name is Nur, so she wanted to name my daughter after her.
The Shaykh : Stick to the names of the female Companions, and especially the Mothers of the Believers.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And leave the newly invented names.
The questioner : Oh, okay, so Nur is not permissible.
The Shaykh : I gave you the answer.
The questioner : Yes, yes, yes. I understood, if Allah wills, that even if it is Nur or Nawwarah, it is not permissible, meaning.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner : Thank you. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. In the complete speech that you heard: I said, stick to the names of the female Companions, and especially the Mothers of the Believers, first. Then, beware of the newly invented names. I think this is sufficient as an answer?
