Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to address a person named 'Abd al-'Aziz as 'Azuz or 'Aziz?
Answer:
It is permissible, because this is a custom that has become established among people and they use it, and they do not intend by it the name of Allah; they do not intend by it the name of Allah, they intend by it this person. Yes, it is a diminutive form.
