Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is permissible for a person to be named with the simple name of one of the names of Allah : al-Basit (the Expander), al-Hakim (the Wise), without it being made into a compound name?

Answer:
Yes.
The student: Without saying 'Abd al-Basit, calling him by the name only: al-Basit, al-Hakim?
A: He is called al-Hakim, he is called al-Sami' (the All-Hearing), yes, it is called that; because these are names that befit the created being.
