Is it permissible to name a girl "Masah," and which name is preferred Islamically among "Masah, Mays, Aseel, Asia"?
There is no objection to naming a girl with the aforementioned names (Almas, Mays, Aseel), as they do not contain anything that is religiously forbidden or disliked. If there is a preference, then the name "Asiya" or "Asiyah" would be suitable, as it is the name of a righteous woman praised in the Qur'an and , such as Allah's saying: "And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, 'My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise'" and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Many men reached perfection, but no women reached perfection except Maryam, daughter of 'Imran, and Asiya, Pharaoh's wife."
