Fatwa number ( 18985 )
Q1: Is it authentic that (al-Rashid) is among the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? What is the ruling on naming someone: 'Abd al-Rashid ? And is it obligatory for one named 'Abd al-Rashid to change the name?
A1: (Al-Rashid) is not among the names of Allah the Exalted; because it did not come in the Qur'an and it is not established in the Sunnah, and based on what has preceded, it is not permissible to say:
('Abd al-Rashid), and the one who has taken that name, it is obligatory for him to change it?
