Naming Someone 'Abd al-Nasir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 21269 )
Q: We have in our school a student named 'Abd al-Nasir, and another student whose father's name is 'Abd al-Jabir. Are these two names permissible or not? May Allah reward you with good. .
A: Al-Nasir and al-Jabir are not among the names of Allah the Exalted, so it is not permissible to use them in names by saying 'Abd al-Nasir or 'Abd al-Jabir. Rather, one should say 'Abd al-Jabbar, because al-Jabbar is among the names of Allah the Exalted. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
