Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to name someone 'Alim (All-Knowing) or Hakim (All-Wise)?

Answer:
No, 'Ali and Hakim are not permissible, and 'Ali does not contradict [the divine name], nor does Hakim, but they are not like the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); they are names of created beings. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
