Question:
A man wanted to advise a Bedouin, so he said to him: "Ya Shaybah al-Rahman, pray with the Muslims?"
Answer:
This has no basis, but one should say: "Ya Fulan," "Ya Akhi fi Allah," or: "Ya Abu Fulan," or: "Ya 'Abdullah." As for "Shaybah al-Rahman," it is not appropriate.
Q: Is "al-Shaybah" permissible?
A: People say: "Shaybah al-Rahman," and there is nothing wrong with that, but "Shaybah al-Rahman" is not permissible.
Q: Why?
A: "Al-Rahman" is a custom of the Bedouins, and "al-Rahman" is not among the names of Allah.
