Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to being named Layla, as twenty-five women among the Companions were named Layla, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not change their names, despite his knowledge of changing names that are disliked in Islamic law.
