Meaning of the name 1) Shaheen & 2) Afroz : Is these are islamic names and mentioned in any of our holy books
Answer
Shaheen (persian) - a white coloured raptor (bird of prey).
Afroz (Persian) - lightbringer or illuminator, generally used as a suffix, e.g. Jahhaan Afroz - lightbringer to the world.
These words, being Persian, do not appear in either the Qur'aan or Ahaadith. However, being possessed of good connotations, they are suitable names, although keeping Arabic names is preferable.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
