Whose right is it to name the baby: the mother‟s or the father‟s or the grandfather‟s?

Question

Whose right is it to name the baby: the mother's or the father's or the grandfather's?

Answer

In today's time of gross ignorant and nafsaani enslavement, one should not be concerned about whose right it is to name the child. One should be concerned about keeping the marriage happy and not argue over such a petty issue. If the father is adamant to keep the name, then let it be so. Do not dispute and fight over this issue. For maintaining happiness, there is a need to compromise and sacrifice even one's rights. This applies to both husbands and wives.
