Is it permissible to name a child (Abd al-Muttalib)?

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the statement of Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him), "except Abd al-Muttalib," why was this name excluded? And is it permissible for a person to name his son with it now? Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib, I am the Prophet, I do not lie."

Answer:
His statement (peace and blessings be upon him), "I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib," is evidence that it is permissible. Also, some of the Companions were named Abd al-Muttalib. This is found in *Bulugh al-Maram*. There is no harm in this; it is permissible to name a child Abd al-Muttalib. Yes.
