What is the ruling on naming a daughter "Umm Li-Sa'd" when the wife objects to the name?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The parents should agree on naming the newborn. In case of disagreement, the right to name exclusively belongs to the father, as the matter is his to decide. The mentioned name is not bad or oppressive, and its being old or new does not make it so. Therefore, it should be approved if the husband is not convinced by any other name.
