The ruling on shortening names that are forms of worship, such as 'Abduddi and Dahmi

Question:
Is it permissible to use a pet name for a child whose name is 'Abdullah? Is it permissible to shorten the name, such as changing 'Abdullah to 'Abduddi or 'Abadi, and 'Abd al-Rahman to Dahmi? This is widespread, Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
They call this "nukht" (shortening). For example, Dahim means 'Abd al-Rahman. They call this nukht. It is used, and there is nothing wrong with it. Yes. It is not a diminutive of the Majesty. He said, "It is a diminutive of 'Abd." 'Abd is a diminutive of 'Abd. 'Abud is a diminutive of 'abd (servant). It is not a diminutive of the Majesty or the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
