Is the name (Abd al-Muttalib) among the names worshipped to other than Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. In the statement of Imam Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him), he does not consider the name Abd al-Muttalib to be one that was worshipped to other than Allah.
The Shaykh:
This is a past name, a past one. A past name is not changed; the one whose owner has died is not changed. It is left as is, but if the person is alive, it is changed. Abd al-Muttalib is dead, so the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not change it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
No, O my brothers. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: Recently it has become apparent
The Shaykh:
Also regarding Abd al-Muttalib, if you look into it, you will find that the original situation was that the father of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was young, and he was Aswad, and he was with his uncle al-Muttalib. They thought he was his slave, saying "Abd al-Muttalib" meaning "the slave of al-Muttalib." They did not know that he was his brother. They said, "This is Abd al-Muttalib," because Aswad narrated it from the journey, so they said, "This is Abd al-Muttalib."
