What is the ruling on naming a baby girl "Batool"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to being named after angels, such as the name Ridwan. Similarly, there is no objection to being named "Al-Batool," which means one who is cut off from men. By this title, Mary the Virgin and Fatimah—may Allah be pleased with her—were known, either because they were cut off from the women of their time in terms of chastity, virtue, religious devotion, and lineage, or because they were cut off from the world and devoted to Allah.
