The ruling on naming a child 'Abd al-Sadiq
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the name 'Abd al-Sadiq prescribed? 'Abd al-Sadiq.
Answer:
No, "the Truthful" is not one of the names of Allah. It was said, "Who is more truthful than Allah?" This is in the category of informing, not naming. I fear that this is from the Shi'ah, who have Ja'far al-Sadiq; they name their son 'Abd al-Sadiq, meaning they intend Ja'far al-Sadiq.
