Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, often some people call each other by names such that 'Abd al-Rahman is called "Dahim" and 'Abd al-'Aziz is called "'Azuz," and so on. Is it permissible to use these titles, given that the diminutive form is used for one of the names of Allah?
Answer:
No. If he says "Ubayd al-'Aziz" or "Ubayd Allah," that is possible. But making the noble name diminutive is not fitting. However, if he says "Ubayd al-'Aziz" or "Ubayd Allah," that is fine.
