Is it said in the grammatical analysis of the term (al-Rahman) in Surat al-Fatihah that it is a genitive attribute?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: In the saying of Allah the Exalted
(2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds - (3) The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[Al-Fatihah 1:2-3]
, do we analyze al-Rahman as a genitive attribute?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says, may Allah reward you, regarding the saying.

The Shaykh:
It is a name, not an attribute. Al-Rahman is the name of mercy, an attribute of mercy. Al-Rahman and al-Rahim are dependent, because the Name of Majesty, the Name of Majesty, al-Hamdu lillah, is the one to which it is added, and it is not said to be in the genitive case, but it is said, but it is said, out of reverence for the greatness. Out of reverence for the greatness, as a sign of respect toward Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
