What is the ruling on naming a newborn girl (Sally)?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The name "Sally" is not among the well-known Arabic names; it is a foreign name whose meaning is unknown. Therefore, it is not advisable to name a newborn with it for someone who does not know its meaning, as it might contain an objectionable meaning or a slogan that contradicts religion and morals. It is recommended to choose another name from the good and well-known names.
