Keeping the name Maariyah
Question
Would it be appropriate to name our daughter Maariyah?
Answer
Hazrat Maariyah (radhiyallahu 'anha) was the slave woman of Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam). Keeping the name Maariyah for one's baby girl is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
