The answer

It has been established from the that two sheep are to be sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl as '. There is no objection to naming a child "Sana" (سنا) with a short 'a' sound, as it does not fall under the forbidden names. The meaning of "Sana'" (سناء) with a prolonged 'a' sound is glory, and "Sana" (سنا) with a short 'a' sound is light, as in the Almighty's saying: "The flash of its lightning almost takes away the sight."
