Is "al-Aati" (العاطي) one of the established names of Allah?
There is no evidence that the name (al-Aati) is among the names of Allah Almighty, nor has any scholar considered it to be so, because the names of Allah are tawqifiyyah (restrictive), derived only from the Quran and authentic . It is not permissible to name Him with what He has not named Himself.
The Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fatawa was asked about the ruling on naming someone “Abdul-Aati,” and it responded that it is not permissible because (al-Aati) is not among the names of Allah Almighty.
However, a group of scholars affirmed the name (al-Muti) for Allah Almighty, citing as evidence the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Allah is al-Muti (the Giver), and I am al-Qasim (the distributor)."
