What is the ruling on naming a newborn male "Wasm" or a female "Wasma"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to naming a newborn with this name as long as it does not carry a -prohibited meaning. The general rule regarding naming is permissibility, and a name is only forbidden for a valid Sharia reason, and there is no such reason here.
