Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is the name al-Nasir among the names of Allah? And if it is among the names of al-Nasir, is it permissible for families to be named with it, or for individuals to be named with it?
Answer:
This is not known among the names of Allah, al-Nasir. However, the Qur'an mentions "the best of helpers" (Khayr al-Nasirin); this is in the category of informing about Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for counting al-Nasir among the names of Allah, this is not known among the scholars of knowledge, to the best of my knowledge.
