Naming with 'Abd al-Awwal, 'Abd al-Akhir, and 'Abd al-Batin

Question:
Naming with 'Abd al-Awwal, 'Abd al-Akhir, and 'Abd al-Batin is deficient.
Answer:
As we mentioned, it is not permissible to isolate certain opposing names. It is not permissible to take al-Awwal (The First) or al-Akhir (The Last) alone, nor to take al-Zahir (The Manifest) or al-Batin (The Hidden) alone. This is not permissible. Therefore, one should avoid this, because if you name with both names together, people will find it strange. If you separate one from the other, the prohibited matter occurs. Avoid this and name with clear names that have no ambiguity.
