What is the ruling on being named with the names (Malak, Yara, Rana, and Hayat), and what are their meanings?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to naming with "Malak," "Rana," or "Hayat," because these are names with no forbidden meanings. As for the name "Yara," it is a foreign name and its meaning has not been ascertained. The meaning of "Malak" is that by which something exists, or it refers to an angel after dropping the hamza. The meaning of "Rana" is to gaze continuously with a still gaze. The meaning of "Hayat" is known. It is preferable to choose good and beautiful names for children.
