Bearing the name `Abdul Mu`tany

Q 1: I wish you would give your opinion concerning my name as I do not know whether it is one of the Names of Allah (Exalted be He) or not. Is using this name permissible or should I change it? My name is Abdul Mu`tany. I appreciate your guidance.


A: You have to change your name as it is not authentically reported that Al-Mu`tany (careful) is one of the Names of Allah (Exalted be He).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
