What is the ruling on naming a newborn girl "Joudy" after the mountain on which Prophet Noah's ark came to rest?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The name "Joudy" has no objection, because it is either the name of the mountain on which Noah's Ark rested, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, or a feminine imperative verb derived from "jaada yajoud," meaning "to give."
