Is it permissible to name a girl "Teema"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to naming with "Tayma", as it is a village and there is nothing in it that is religiously prohibited. Al-Bakri Al-Andalusi said: "Tayma: with the first letter open [ta-], and with prolongation [ya-], on the pattern of Fa'laa'. And Tayma is one of the mother villages. It is said that its people reconciled with the Messenger of Allah -may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him-. And it is said that Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan embraced Islam on the day Tayma was conquered."
