Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, regarding the naming, Shaykh, Abd al-Shari'ah, Abd al-Musharrak.
The Shaykh : No, no, this is a report.
The questioner : Some names, Shaykh, were not transmitted, and the naming is permissible...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the difference between this and that?
The Shaykh : Even Abd al-Mun'im, because some people say that al-Mun'im (the Bestower) in the absolute sense belongs only to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And the term Abd al-Shari'ah, according to our current concept, has become such that "al-Shari'ah" is used to refer to the road, and what most commonly comes to mind for the general public is that al-Shari'ah is the road. So, as long as it carries a forbidden meaning for the majority of people, it is prohibited. Yes?
