Bearing the name 'Dina'

Q 3: I was blessed with a daughter and I named her (Dina) but everyone asks me to change it so I wanted to change it. Then, I read in the book entitled "Qasas-ul-Anbiya" (Stories of Prophets) by Ibn Kathir that Prophet Yusuf's (Joseph) (peace be upon him) sister was named Dina. So, I did not change her name. Is there is anything wrong with this name? Answer me, may Allah reward you with the best! (Part No. 10; Page No. 449


A 3: There is nothing wrong with naming your daughter Dina because this name includes no bad meaning and you have the choice to change it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
