The ruling on being named 'Abd al-Muttalib, 'Abd al-Jabbar, and Malak

Question:
Is it permissible to be named 'Abd al-Muttalib, 'Abd al-Jabbar, and Malak?

Answer:
It is not permissible to name a person a slave of anyone other than Allah; making a person a slave to anyone other than Allah is not permissible. This is due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it, and because the name implies exaltation, and exaltation is for Allah alone. This was a practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah); 'Abd al-Muttalib was from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and that era has passed and ended. We cannot change his name, as it is in the past, so it remains as it is. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This falls under the category of the past. However, after Islam, one is not to be named 'Abd al-Muttalib.
This is the opinion of the majority. Some scholars, such as Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), make an exception for 'Abd al-Muttalib, stating that it is permissible in Islam because one of the Companions was named 'Abd al-Muttalib, so he says it is permissible. Ibn Hazm says that they agreed on the prohibition of every name that implies servitude to anyone other than Allah, except for 'Abd al-Muttalib, meaning that this is permissible. This is a point of disagreement, but the majority say no. After Islam, one is not to be a slave to anyone other than Allah. Yes.
