Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Graceإن الله جميل يحب الجمال
Sahih Muslim 91a
He asks: Is a name for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) taken from this, and is it permissible to use it in worship?

Answer:
This is not in the category of a name; this is in the category of information. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. This is information about Allah (Mighty and Majestic), not a name for Allah. Yes.
