Is it permissible to name a girl with names such as Lara, Yara, Tara?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We have not found a meaning for the words "Lara, Yara, and Tara" in the Arabic language. If they are transliterated from another language, then it is not appropriate to name with them until their meaning is known, as they might contain a meaning that contradicts religion and ethics. It is preferable to avoid naming with these words whose meanings are not clear.
