The questioner : Rinan
The Shaykh : The default ruling regarding naming is permissibility, but what does Rinan mean?
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 : Al-Rundah is not the singular of Rinan; if it were al-Rinah, perhaps
The questioner : They say the singular is Rundah
The Shaykh : In any case, look into it; if this is the only option available in names, then I permit it for you, as long as the matter is in doubt, it is left alone.
