Question

Is it permissible to call Abdur Rahmaan as Rahmaan?

Answer

It is not permissible. The word ‘Rahmaan’ is an exclusive attribute of Allah Ta`ala.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
