After the Committee studied the inquiry, it answered: We do not know of any harm in it; because it is from the category of attributing the created to its Creator, like Bayt Allah (House of Allah), Naqat Allah (She-Camel of Allah), and 'Abd Allah (Servant of Allah), etc.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
