Topic: Naming a Child Abd al-Rabb (AbdulRab)

(No-66045)

Q Assalamu Alaikum. By the grace of Allah, a son has been born in our home. I would like to name him Abd al-Rabb. Please advise whether this name is permissible and whether there is any prohibition against it.

a"Rabb" (رب) is one of the Asma ul-Husna, the blessed names of Allah. It means master, chief, sustainer, and nurturer, among other meanings. Therefore, it is permissible to attach the word "Abd" to "Al-Rabb" and name a child Abd al-Rabb (عبد الرَّب, AbdulRabb). Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
