What is the ruling on naming with Isra?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If by naming the child “Israa” (إسراء), the intention is to name her after Surat Al-Israa (سورة الإسراء), then some scholars have deemed it disliked, while the majority have permitted it. If there is no intention to name her after the Surah, then there is no harm in it.
