What is the meaning of the name "Ritajj"?
It is recommended to give a child a good name, based on the : "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so make your names good." The meaning of the word "Ritaj" is unknown, but "Al-Reetaj" in dictionaries means a closed door with a small door on it. In "Lisan al-Arab," it means every narrow pass as if it were closed due to its narrowness. So the name "Ritaj" is not among the good names because its root word implies narrowness and closure. It is preferable to choose the name of one of the female Companions or the daughters of the Prophet - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him - and his wives.
