What is the ruling on being named "A Houri Straying from Paradise" in forums and on internet sites?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to being named Huriyyah, and if by "being an exile from Paradise" it is meant that the original homeland of humanity is Paradise and that one strives to return to it, then there is no harm in this name if the person is striving for the Hereafter, as Ibn al-Qayyim said: "So hasten to the Gardens of Eden, for they are your first homes and where you shall encamp. But we are captives of the enemy, so do you think we shall return to our homelands and be safe?"
