The questioner says: Sometimes people use diminutive forms of names, such as saying 'Abd al-Ilah for 'Abd al-Ilah and 'Abadi for 'Abd Allah.
The Shaykh:
There are some people
The questioner:
who use diminutive forms of names, such as saying 'Abd al-Ilah for 'Abd al-Ilah.
The Shaykh:
This is not a diminutive; al-Ilah is not a diminutive. This is not permissible; this is not permissible. Al-Ilah is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is not said al-Ilah. Yes. And the second one.
The questioner:
'Abadi and 'Abudi.
The Shaykh:
And 'Abadi. If he compounds it with Allah, it is not permissible. But if he says 'Abadi without compounding it with Allah, the matter is easy in this case. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
