What is the ruling on naming a girl "Bakkah" or "Bakka"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Bakkah is one of the names of Makkah, and it was named so either because of the crowding of people within it and their pushing one another, or because it breaks the necks of tyrants. As for Bakâ, it is the verbal noun of the verb (bakka) meaning to pierce and separate, or to crowd. There appears to be no impediment to naming a girl with either of these two names.
