Bearing the name Iman or Huda

Q: What are the reprehensible names in Din (religion of Islam)? Is it reprehensible to call names like Iman (faith) or Huda (guidance)? What is the ruling on a man who has a three year old girl named Iman? Should he change her name? May Allah reward you with all good.


A: There is nothing in Islam forbidding people to call their children names like Huda and Iman as far as we know. (Part No. 11; Page No. 464) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
