The ruling on naming a child 'Abd al-Nabi or 'Abd al-Masih

Question:
Fathi Ahmad Fadel, and after listening to his question, this message came to us from Ahmad Nasser from Doha, Qatar. He says in his message, after greeting the honorable Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Baz: We find that some people name their children things like 'Abd al-Nabi and 'Abd al-Husayn, and this is very common among us. What is the opinion of the honorable scholars and your opinion, may Allah grant you understanding and prolong your life, regarding this?
Please inform us. May Allah reward you with the best reward for us.

Answer:
Making a slave of anyone other than Allah is not permissible. It is not permissible to say: 'Abd al-Nabi, or 'Abd 'Ali, or 'Abd al-Husayn. This is reprehensible and not permissible. Naming as a slave is for Allah alone: 'Abd Allah, 'Abd al-Rahman, 'Abd al-Rahim, 'Abd al-Malik, 'Abd al-Qudus. This is what being a slave means, and one is not made a slave to anyone other than Allah. Ibn Hazm, Abu Muhammad, the famous one, said: The scholars agreed on the prohibition of every name that makes one a slave to other than Allah, such as 'Abd 'Umar and 'Abd al-Ka'bah, and the like of that.
Except for 'Abd al-Muttalib, regarding which there is no agreement.
The point is: he reported the agreement of the scholars on the prohibition of this matter. So making a slave of anyone other than Allah is not permissible, whoever it may be. So one does not say: 'Abd al-Husayn, or 'Abd 'Umar, or 'Abd al-Nabi, or 'Abd al-Ka'bah, or the like of that. Rather, it is obligatory to name with the status of being a slave to Allah, or with other names, such as Salih, Muhammad, Ahmad, Zayd, Khalid, Bakr, and the like of that. Yes.
