Topic: Naming a Child Habba

(No-65949)

Q Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib! What does the name Habba mean? Is it permissible to use this name?

aThe Arabic word "Habba" (حبہ) can be pronounced in two ways: 1. "Habbah" (حَبَّۃ, with a fatha on ح and a shaddah on ب), meaning "a grain" or "a seed". 2. "Hubbah" (حُبَّۃ, with a damma on ح and a shaddah on ب), meaning "a beloved" or "a sweetheart". Neither of these names is suitable for girls. It is better to name a child after one of the Azwaj al-Mutahharat or the Sahabiyat (may Allah be pleased with them all), or to choose any other name with a good meaning. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
