Changing the name Musaib
Question
I have been suffering from depression from 15 years almost and my heart has become extremely weak. I am taking antidepressants from 4 years. I recently visited a religious man, he told me your name is not suitable for you. I want to know the meaning of my name (Musaib) and if it is really wrong name, then I will have change it during nikah. Actually my parents named me Musaib without proper consultation with any religious man.
Answer
We do not know the wrong meaning in the word.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
