The Shaykh : Here.
The questioner : May I ask, Shaykh? Yes, Shaykh, some pamphlets have appeared that provide an interpretation of some of the beautiful names of Allah. These pamphlets clarify the ability of some of the beautiful names of Allah to treat human diseases and pains, such as specifying al-Jabbar (the Compeller) for back pain and a specific name for knee pain. What is the ruling on this, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is not permissible to publish it or act upon it.
