Whose right is it to name the child?
Question
I read somewhere that Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (Rahimullah) said that it is the mother's right to name the child. Is this right?
Answer
We have not come across this.
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.
