Are al-Hadi and al-Muhsin among the names of Allah?

Question : Are these words, al-Hadi, al-Muhsin, al-Da'im, and others, names or attributes of Allah? What is the ruling on naming people with them, such as 'Abd al-Hadi?

Answer : Yes, some of these are names of Allah, such as al-Muhsin. Some are not among the names of Allah, but rather descriptions by which Allah is described. If a person is named after one of the names of Allah, it is valid, such as 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman. Likewise, if a person is named after an attribute that belongs to Allah alone, such as 'Abd Manzil al-Kitab or 'Abd Mujri al-Sahab or the like, it is permissible.
