Is it obligatory to change the name "Quwaider" if it is a diminutive of one of Allah's Beautiful Names, and what action should be taken in this regard?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The name "Quwaydir" is acceptable because it is the diminutive of "Qadir," and the name "Qadir" is not exclusive to Allah. It is permissible to use diminutives and terms of endearment in names that signify servitude to Allah.
