Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Are other names measured by the names 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman, such as 'Abd al-Rahim, 'Abd al-Malik, and 'Abd al-Qadir?

Answer:
The most beloved of names are those containing servitude to Allah or mercy from Allah to His servant. The most beloved names to Allah are 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman. The rest are permissible: 'Abd al-Samad, 'Abd al-Ilah, 'Abd al-Qadir, 'Abd al-Rahman, and so on. These are permissible, but these are more preferred than them: 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman are more preferred than them. Yes.
