Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, are al-Hayy al-Sattar among the names of Allah?

Answer:
Yes, it came in a hadith: "Al-Hayy al-Qayyum" is among the names, and Sattar means the One who covers, the One who covers much, and from al-Hayy al-Qayyum
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence.اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:255]
al-Hayy is among His names, and al-Sattar is among His names, and it means the One who covers, but it is an exaggeration, yes.
