Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Al-Hafiz one of the names of Allah, the Exalted? One of them wrote it on a commercial establishment, and a person objected to him, saying this is not permissible because Al-Hafiz is one of the names of Allah the Exalted. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Many people name themselves Al-Hafiz, so-and-so Al-Hafiz, the Preserver. This is not specific to Allah.
