Topic: Naming a Child Dua

(No-65995)

Q Mufti Sahib, a girl has been born in my home. I would like to name her "Dua". Is it correct to give a girl this name?

aThe word Dua (دُعَا) means to turn toward Allah and to call upon Him. Therefore, this name may be given to a girl. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.

تاج العروس: (46/38، ط: دار الهداية)
(و {الدُّعاءُ)، بالضَّمِّ مَمْدوداً؛ (الرَّغْبَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى) فيمَا عنْدَه مِن الخيْرِ والابْتِهال إِلَيْهِ بالسُّؤَالِ؛ وَمِنْه قوْلُه تَعَالَى: {} ادعوا رَبَّكم تَضَرُّعاً وخفْيَة} .
( {دَعا) } يَدْعُو ( {دُعاءً} ودَعْوَى) ؛ وأَلِفُها للتَّأْنِيثِ.
