Is it permissible to name a girl or a newborn "Gharam," or not?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not recommended to name a newborn girl "Gharam" because its meanings include: perpetual evil, constant torment, debt, love, infatuation, and that which cannot be rid of. This is supported by the Almighty's saying: (Indeed, its torment was perpetual), and the : "I seek refuge in You from sin and debt (maghram)."
