What is the ruling on being named Rilas, knowing that it is a foreign name meaning "the high, radiant light"?
There is no religious impediment to naming with foreign names if their meaning is known and they do not contain a religious prohibition, such as being exclusive to people of other religions or being famous among people of immorality and disobedience. It is preferable to name with other good names that have clear meanings and are familiar.
