What is the ruling on naming a newborn girl Anaam or Anam?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Naming a child "An'am" (أنعام) or "Anam" (أنام) is permissible, because the default rule for names is permissibility unless there is a Shariah-prohibited restriction. However, it is better to choose good and well-known names in the environment that carry a beautiful meaning.
