Bearing the name 'Iman'

Q: I have a daughter and named her Iman, but I heard that the Prophet (peace be upon him) banned this name. I hope to know the ruling on bearing this name, and whether there is any Hadith attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbidding it, and what is the text of this Hadith? (Part No. 10; Page No. 495


A: There is nothing wrong in using the name Iman, and it is not authentic that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade anyone to bear this name.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
