The questioner:
If someone noticed this name, 'Abd al-Sa'kh, is there any comment? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
This name is not permissible, and it is not one of the names of Allah, Sa'khat. However, it is established that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) becomes angry with His enemies, the disbelievers, and is wrathful toward them. These are attributes of action, and they are the height of justice and wisdom. As for deriving a name from these actions, such as saying al-Sa'khat or al-Ghadib, this is not permissible. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Do you advise him to change the name externally?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is obligatory for him to change the name. He should say, for example, 'Abd al-Jalil, or 'Abd al-Karim, or 'Abd Allah; because it came in the hadith
The most loved names to Allah are 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman.أن أحب الأسماء إلى الله عبد الله، وعبد الرحمن،
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2834Sahih (Darussalam)
he changes his name to a good name.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
