Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I read in the book The Sciences of the Qur'an, in the chapter on abrogation, that it says: "And people apply the term al-Nasikh (the abrogating) to the Divine Name Allah," and they cited as evidence His saying:
We do not abrogate a verseمَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ
[Al-Baqarah 2:106]
The question is: Is al-Nasikh (the abrogating) considered one of the names of Allah?

Answer:
No, it is not one of the names of Allah. But in the sense of informing, it is said that the abrogator is Allah or the Messenger, in the sense of informing only. As for the sense of naming, no, al-Nasikh (the abrogating) is not one of the names of Allah. Yes.
