Reciting Bismillah before commencing any action

Q: 

  1. Before we do any action we recite bismillah. Is there any harm if I add  to it and say “bismillah was salaatu was salaamu ala rasulillah” before I commence any action whether small or big?
  2. May a girl have the name leena?

A: 

  1. Reciting Bismillah before commencing any work is sufficient.
  2. The word Leena means a date tree. 

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

باب قوله { ما قطعتم من لينة } نخلة ما لم تكن عجوة أو برنية

عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حرق نخل بني النضير وقطع وهي البويرة فأنزل الله تعالى { ما قطعتم من لينة أو تركتموها قائمة على أصولها فبإذن الله وليخزي الفاسقين } (بخاري رقم 4884)
