The ruling on naming a person “Abd al-Sitar”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The use of it, to the point that some people have taken it as a name.
Answer : Raise your voice. I say: al-Sitar. May Allah bless you. To the point that some people are named Abd al-Sitar. It is not one of the names of Allah, but it is undoubtedly one of His attributes. And I am not aware that the specific term al-Sitar has been reported, but it is among the attributes that apply to none but Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
