Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The honorable Shaykh Salih asks: What is your view regarding the one who says, when an accident or something similar happens, "Ya Sattar"? Is "al-Sattar" among the names of Allah? We ask for your guidance.

Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) conceals the faults of His servants, so He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is described as one who conceals the faults of His servants, and as "al-Steer" (the Concealer), which is the term that has been reported. As for "al-Sattar" and "al-Sa'tir," I am not aware that Allah the Exalted has been named by them in the texts. I am not aware that "al-Sattar" or "al-Sattar" is among the names of Allah. What has been reported is "al-Steer." As for describing Him as one who conceals His servants and conceals the faults of His servants, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
