The ruling on naming a child 'Abd al-Muhsin and the name al-Muhsin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is al-Muhsin one of the names of Allah? And what is your opinion regarding those named 'Abd al-Muhsin?

The Shaykh:
It is not one of the names that have been transmitted and established. However, it is reasonable, for He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), is described as doing good to His servants; He does good to His servants. And as in the phrase, "And do good as Allah has done good to you." Allah is described by the fact that He does good to His servants. As for taking from this the name al-Muhsin for Allah, this has not been transmitted. Yes.

The questioner:
The master, this one.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm in it, but it is not said that al-Muhsin is one of the names of Allah. As for saying 'Abd al-Muhsin, there is no harm in it, but it is not said that al-Muhsin is one of the names of Allah. Yes.

The questioner:
And before he testifies to the hour of the month.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, from the established names of Allah, from the established names of Allah. Yes.
