Answer
Jadeela- (fem-Arabic) meaning path, tribe, faction. Also soundness of opinion. If the root is Jadala , it could mean strong or strongboned. If the root is Jadila, it could mean quarrelsome, etc, therefore not suitable as a name due to it's unsavoury connotations.

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.
