Is it permissible for a wife to contradict her husband regarding the naming of a newborn girl based on a vision?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Sharia rulings are not built upon dreams, and the father has more right to name the newborn. Your wife erred by prioritizing the dream over your command and by violating what you entrusted her with regarding the naming procedures. We advise handling the matter with wisdom and calmness, as affection between spouses is more important, especially if the chosen name is permissible in Sharia. The father should not act unilaterally in his right to name; for the mother also has a right in the choice, even if the father's right is given precedence in case of dispute.
