Does naming the pharmacy “Al-Shifa’ Natural Pharmacy” compromise tawhid (the oneness of Allah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There is a pharmacy near our house named “Al-Shifa’ Natural Pharmacy.” Does this name attribute healing to other than Allah and contradict tawhid (the oneness of Allah)? And what is my obligation regarding this?

The Shaykh:
What is he saying?

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
No, it does not compromise tawhid (the oneness of Allah), but it is not good. If you said “The Medicine Pharmacy,” that would be better. “The Medicine Pharmacy” is better than “Al-Shifa’ Pharmacy.” So you should advise them in this matter to remove the word “Shifa’” and make it “The Medicine Pharmacy.” Yes.
