Is the name "Zamzam" permissible for a newborn girl according to Sharia?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to naming a girl Zamzam, as there is no prohibition against it. It is not among the names of glorification or reprehensible names, nor does it imply a commendation of the named. The negation "no Zamzam" when asked does not negate goodness from the named, unlike other names that have been prohibited.
