Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it correct for us to say that among the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are al-Bani and al-Farish, or are they applied to Him (Glorified and Exalted is He) as attributes?

Answer:
Every action among the actions of Allah yields a name from it, whereas the reverse is not the case: every name yields an attribute from it, but as for actions, not every action yields a name from it.
But they plan, and Allah plansوَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ
[Al-Anfal 8:30]
It is not said that al-Makir is among His names. Al-Makir is not one of His names because He plots against those who plot against His servants. So, not every action from which a name or attribute is derived. Yes.
