Keeping the name Maariyah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I’ve kept the name Maariyah for my daughter. Is it a good name? It is said that she was a slave girl of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallm). Is it the name of a Sahaabiyah?

Bismillaah

A: It is permissible.

Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
