Keeping the name Maa'idah
Question
I kept my daughters name as maaidah as mentioned in the Quran, surah Maaidah . Please tell me if this is the right name for my daughter who was born on 4th september 2016?
Answer
Maaidah is not an Islamic name. The word maa'idah refers to a tray of food.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
