Question

I want you to tell me the meanings of these muslim names which are "Summra,Saima and Idnan".I'll be highly thankful for this.Also tell me one thing that in the light of Sura-e-Nisa a man can marry any of the women except of some but there is no indication about not to marry a girl belonging to Prophet's(SAW) family but u say that it should not be done.Can u please explain it.

Answer

Sumra (with a swaad) ? brownness, brown colour

Saima ? one who fasts (feminine)

Idnan possibly from the root word ?And? which means paradise.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
