Is the name "Abd Al-Nabi" forbidden by Islamic law, and must it be changed?
Scholars have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of naming with any name that involves servitude to other than Allah, such as "Abd al-Nabi" (servant of the Prophet) and "Abd al-Masih" (servant of the Messiah). Therefore, this name must be changed, and there is no sin upon its bearer for what has passed.
