The ruling on naming a child after the mother if she initially objected to it and then permitted it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first message in this episode is from one of the female listeners who indicated her name with four letters: (R. M. S. D.) from Riyadh. Our sister says: My mother told us all: You are in an awkward position if you do not name [your children] after my name. However, my sister gave birth to a daughter and named her after the mother, and that was when the mother was still alive. And before her passing, she said: I have absolved you all from everything. My question: Does this awkwardness fall under our absolution, or must there be something more explicit than that? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows:
Naming [a child] after the mother is not a problem. She has explicitly stated that she has absolved you from the previous awkwardness, so that is included in it. Naming is included in this absolution, and there is no blame on you, if Allah wills, in that.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
