What is the ruling on naming a newborn girl "Ghazal"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The name "Ghazal," if the letter "zay" is pronounced with a sukoon (silent), meaning the spinning and lengthening of threads, then there is no objection to using it as a name. However, if the "zay" is pronounced with a vowel (haraka), meaning passion for women and conversing with them, then naming with it is disliked (makrooh).
