Answer:

 

Keep name suzanne

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Dear and beloved Sister, a name is no more than an assigned form of recognition; thus it is permissible in Islam for one to assign any good name to their off-spring. The only names which are impermissible are those names which connote ‘shirk’, disbelief, or have an inherent evil meaning.

 

The term ‘Suzanne’ is obviously not an Arabic term, and it seems it is probably derived from old Greek or Latin; we are absolutely unaware of its exact meaning. As long as the term ‘Suzanne’ does not connote ‘shirk’ or disbelief, or does not have an inherent evil meaning, there is absolutely no harm in assigning this name to a girl, if one sincerely wishes to do so.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
