Keeping the name Ayesha Fathima
Question
Can I name my daughter as "Ayesha Fathima" because I named my first daughter as "Arfa Fathima", I wanted to have "Fathima" as last name for both my daughters. Why I doubt is Ayesha is the name of Wife of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), and Fathima is the daughter of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
Answer
We have not come across our learned pious people keeping these types of names.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
