Question

Assalamualaikum, please could you tell me the meanings of the following names? Rubina, Ruhina, Rumina jazakallah

Answer

Roobeenah
Perhaps this word is derivation of the English word Ruby ? a clear, deep-red variety of conrundum, valued as precious stone (Collins Concise English Dictionary). It is a common name amongst the Jewish rather than the English. Such names should not be kept by Muslims.

Rumaanah
A pomegranate seed.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
