Question

Assalamu Alaikum,

Dear Mufti Sab,

I am thinking of a house name for my home. I have "SIDRAH" in my mind. Do you think it's a name that can be given to home?

Appreciate your response please. Jazakallahu Khair.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Sidra means lote tree. Sidrat al-Muntaha is the lote tree at the highest boundary in the heavens.[1]

Sidrah or sidra is a suitable name for your house.

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
