The Ruling on Naming Someone 'Alim (All-Knowing) and Hakim (All-Wise)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for us to name someone 'Alim (All-Knowing) and Hakim (All-Wise)?
Answer:
All 'Alim and All Hakim, no. The All-Knowing is not to be contradicted, and the All-Wise is not to be contradicted. However, these are not like the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); these are names of created beings.
