Correct spelling of names
Question
We want to know if these names are Islamically correct for our child. Also, the correct way to spell in English as our Arabic is not the best. These are the names:
Nur Addunya or Noor Addunya
Nur AlJannah or Noor Aljannah
Nur AlHayat or Noor Alhayat
Answer
It is permissible. The exact spelling of Arabic words in English is not possible as there is no definite equivalent for the Arabic alphabets in English.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
