Addressing 'Abd al-Muhsin as Muhsin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man is named 'Abd al-Muhsin. Is it permissible to address him simply as Muhsin? It was said to me that it is one of the names of Allah, so it is not permissible to address him by this name?
Answer:
As long as we hear 'Abd al-Muhsin, say, "O 'Abd al-Muhsin." Call him by his full name. But if he is named Muhsin, there is no harm in that; there is no harm in his being called Muhsin, the phrase of ihsan (excellence in worship), because a person is called Muhsin, and Allah loves the muhsinun (those who excel in worship).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
