My daughter’s name is Zaariah Shakhawat. Is it a good Islamic name? What is the meaning of Zaariah and Shakhawat. Please reply.
Answer:
(Fatwa: 488/458/N=1434)
According to Arabic language, the meaning of Zariah (زاریہ) is not good. It means: a woman who finds faults, one who disdains someone, one who rebukes, etc
كذا في تاج العروس (38: 215-216) ومصباح اللغات (ص 337).
Hence you should change the name of your daughter and keep any good and meaningful name.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
