Naming with the Title of Raqib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 5146 )
Q1: A military rank named: (Raqib), and this is one of the Beautiful Names, and al-Raqib is: Allah the Exalted, and it is known that likening Him to creation and interpreting His attributes figuratively is not permissible.
A: There is nothing wrong with a person being named Raqib, and this does not necessitate likening Allah to creation; because the meaning that belongs to Allah the Exalted is fitting for Him, and the meaning that belongs to the created being is fitting for it, Allah the Exalted said:[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
