Topic: The Meaning of the Name Bint e Mas'ood

(No-65886)

Q Respected scholar, is it permissible to name one's daughter after the Sahabiyat by the name "Bint e Mas'ood"? Someone has mentioned two meanings for it: (1) a difficult mountain path, and (2) a chaste woman. Are these meanings correct?

aThe word Bint (بِنْت) means "daughter", while Mas'ood (مَسْعُوْد) is a proper name. Therefore, "Bint e Mas'ood" (بِنْتِ مَسْعُوْد) simply means "the daughter of Mas'ood". The meanings mentioned in the question are not correct. Furthermore, Bint e Mas'ood is not the name of any Sahabiyat. However, many Sahabiyat had fathers named Mas'ood, and on that basis it is correct to refer to them as Bint e Mas'ood. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
