Naming a Child Abiha
(No-66100)
Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib. My eight-month-old niece, whose name is Abiha, has been continuously ill since birth. Please guide me: could the name be the issue?
The name Abeehah (أَبِيْهَهْ) means "one who is intelligent and sensible", so it is permissible to use this name.
It should be noted that a name is changed when its meaning is problematic. Since the meaning of Abiha is sound, there is no need to change it.
Allah the Almighty knows best.
