The ruling on naming a person Hamid or Muhsin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the hadith "You are the Praiseworthy, the Majestic," is it permissible for a person to be named Hamid or Muhsin?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible, even if it matches the name of Allah in wording and meaning, but it differs in manner and in reality. As is well known, some people take the names of Allah, such as al-Aziz (the Mighty), al-Hakim (the Wise), al-Sami' al-Basir (the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing), and so on. This is permissible. However, even if they match in wording and meaning, they differ in manner and reality. This is the rule.
