Is “SARAH SAJID” an Islamic name?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
By the blessings of Almighty Allah, I got a new born baby girl. I want to keep her name as “SARAH SAJID”. Is it permissible as per Shariah? One of my friend said, SARAH is a Christian name. Is he right?

Answer

(Fatwa: 249/164/L=1434)

You can name your daughter Sara. It is good name. It is the name of the wife of Hadhrat Ebrahim (عليه السلام), it is not correct to consider it a Christian name.
