Is it permissible to name a child "Musfira," as mentioned in the noble verse, "Some faces on that day will be bright, laughing, and rejoicing," given that there is already another daughter named "Maghfira" from a different verse, and the parents' desire to name their children with unconventional names from the Holy Quran?

There is no objection to naming a girl "Musfirah," as it is a good name meaning radiant and bright. There is also no objection to naming a girl "Maghfirah," as there is no harm in it, and its meaning is concealment and covering, especially if the naming is done with the hope that the girl will be among those who conceal themselves and protect themselves from deficiencies and flaws.
