Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on being named 'Abd al-Mutajalli, and if it is not permissible, is it required to change it?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know; I mean, among the names of Allah, I do not know al-Mutajalli. 'Abd al-Jalil, yes, there is no harm. As for al-Mutajalli, I do not know that this is among the names of Allah. As for changing it, this is a broad matter, and I am not afraid.
