What is the ruling on naming a daughter "Naghām" (Melody)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to naming a girl "Naghām" (نغم); for the default rule in naming is permissibility. A name is only prohibited if there is a valid reason, such as it being exclusive to disbelievers, or containing a forbidden or religiously blameworthy meaning. The name "Naghām" is free from these impediments.
