هل أسماء "دانية" و"لينة" حلال أم حرام؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the names "Dana" and "Lina" are Arabic, then "Dana" comes from "al-dunuw" (الدنو), meaning proximity or closeness, and "Lina" comes from "al-luyunah" (اللينونة) or "al-linah" (اللينة), which is a type of palm tree. Naming with them is permissible due to the absence of any Shariah impediment. However, if they are non-Arabic, it is not possible to definitively assert the permissibility of naming with them due to not knowing their meanings. Clear Arabic names suffice over others.
