Naming 'Abd al-Muttalib and the statement of Ibn Hazm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said that every name 'Abd (servant) of other than Allah is forbidden, except 'Abd al-Muttalib. He asks: Is it permissible to name someone 'Abd al-Muttalib to this day?
Answer:
No. On the surface of Ibn Hazm's statement, it is permissible, but that is not correct. It is not permissible to name someone 'Abd al-Muttalib. There is one Companion whose name was 'Abd al-Muttalib, but that does not indicate permissibility. Yes.
