Naming a Daughter with a Christian Name
A father named his daughter a Christian name after her grandmother, and his wife refuses that and calls her by another name. What is the ruling on this?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for the mother to call her by her name or any other name, and it is disliked to name her with names that may harm the son socially. The father should change the name, and God knows best.
