The word "Tahreem"
Question
What does tahreem mean? Is this right name for a girl? My sister has this name and parents are deciding to change her name as it means haram from surah al-tahreem. But when I searchd this meaning on internet I found it HURMAT WALI. So please clarify the exact meaning of this name so that we can take a proper decision.
Answer
Tahreem means to make something forbidden or something that is sanctified.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
