Topic: Naming a Child Aasiya

(No-66103)

Q Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib! My sister's name is Aasiya. Many people say that it is not correct to keep this name because its meaning is not good. Is this claim correct?

aThe name "Aasiyah" (آسیہ) is perfectly acceptable. However, the name "عاصیہ" (with ع and ص) is not permissible, as it means a sinful woman. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
