Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Are Al-Hanan, Al-Mannan, and Al-Tayyib names or attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? Because some people invoke them, saying, "O Al-Hanan, O Al-Mannan, O Al-Tayyib?"
Answer:
Al-Mannan is among the names of Allah. As for Al-Hanan, it is not established that Al-Hanan is among the names of Allah; rather, Al-Mannan is among the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for Al-Tayyib, it is not among the names of Allah, but it is described that His names are good, and that Allah is Al-Tayyib, as in the hadith: Yes, this is a matter of informing about Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and a matter of naming, yes.
