Question

Assalamu Alaikum

I have made nikah of widow and I have one son named abdur Rashid

I made myself niyath in my heart, if I got one more son his name will be Abdullah.

Is it compulsory to follow the niyyath

Kindly advise....

Answer

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

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

It is not compulsory to follow your niyyat.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
