Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is "the Legislator" or "the One who legislates" among the names of Allah the Exalted, or among His attributes?
Answer:
It is reported about Allah that He is a Legislator and that He legislates. As for Him being named by that, no, this has not come; "the Legislator" or "the One who legislates" has not come as one of His names. However, it is reported about Him that He is the One who legislates for worship: "He has prescribed for you of religion what He has made complete for you" or "Do they have partners who have legislated for them of religion what Allah has not permitted?" So it is reported about Allah that He legislates, that He is a Legislator, and that He legislates. Yes.
