Is it permissible to publish a list of names believed to be "girls' names mentioned in the Holy Quran" in forums, knowing that the list includes names such as: Alaa, Amina, Ayat, Abrar, Athar, Ihsan, Ahlam, Ikhlas, Iram, Istabraq, Israa, Asma, Islam, Ishraq, Afaq, Afnan, Ikram, Amana, Amani, An'am, Anfal, Anhar, Ayah, Ima, Ilaf, Bara'ah, Buruj, Bushra, Basa'ir, Bayan, Bayyinah, Bayyinat, Banin, Bahjah, Tahiyyah, Taqwa, Tuqya, Jihad, Jannat, Jannah, Hasanat, Hasanah, Hanan, Haneen, Hayah, Hur, Khulud, Khayrat, Daniyah, Duaa, Dunya, Dhikra, Dhahab, Rahmah, Raheeq, Raghad, Ramim, Rawdah, Zakiyah, Zahrah, Zinah, Sujud, Saja, Sarmad, Salsabil, Salam, Salwa, Sanabil, Sundus, Shir'ah, Shafa'ah, Shifa', Shams, Shama'il, Sabah, Siddiqah, Safa, Duha, Diya', Aaliyah, Arafat, Izzah, Ahd, Uyoun, Ghufran, Fajr, Furat, Furqan, Farah, Firdaws, Fidaa, Fiddah, Falak, Qismah, Qutuf, Qamar, Kunuz, Kawthar, Kawkab, Liqaa, Layal, Layl, Lu'lu', Muzn, Ma'al, Ma'idah, Mathani, Ma'wa, Marwah, Maryam, Malak, Malakut, Mihadd, Minhaj, Muntaha, Mawaddah, Mi'ad, Mithaq, Naba', Najwa, Nidaa, Namariq, Nur, Nuha, Wadd, Wardah, Wasilah, Wa'd, Withaq, Wilayah, Wahaj, Yusra, Yaqut, and Yaqin?
The mentioned names, which are said to be girls' names that appeared in the Quran, did not appear as such. The general rule is that it is permissible to name with them, except for those that contain a prohibition, such as naming with the names of Quranic surahs (Bara'ah, Duha), or those that contain an ugly meaning (Ramim), or those that imply commendation (Iman, Taqwa). Spreading such names as if they are girls' names mentioned in the Holy Quran is attributing to the Quran what it does not contain, and this is impermissible.
