Bearing the name '`Abdul-Khayr'

Q: My name is `Abd-ul-Khair, is this name legally valid ? This is because Al-Khair is not included in the ninety nine Names of Allah? What should I do? May Allah reward you with the best! As-salamu `alaykum (May Allah's Peace be upon you!)


A: This name is not permissible. You may choose another name such as `Abdullah, `Abd-ul-Rahman and the like of the permissible names.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
