Fathwa, - There is no harm in carrying the name 'Baasit'

Question
Assalamo alikum Brother, My name is Basit Minhas and i am from
Pakistan.Unfortunately my parents named me Basit Minhas without using
Abdul.Now i am named Basit minhas on all my official Documents and all
my family members and friends call me Basit without saying
Abdul.Kindly tell me is there any sin or not because i heard that some
names of Allah can be used without using Abdul. Is "Basit" one of
those.Because if have to change my name officially it will be a lot of
work to change on all my documents and people know me by Basit.And
will I be questioned on day of judgement if i say people to call me
Abdul basit but still they call me Basit.Kindly reply me brother
anxiously waiting for your reply. jazakallah.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
There is nothing wrong with having the name ofBaasit. That is because
it is permissible to have one of the names that are common between
Allaah and His creation. This is proved by the approval of the
Prophet, of some of the names of the Companions that are used for
Allaah such as'AliandHakeem. Also,Baasitcan be added to them.
It was stated in Ad-Durr Al-Mukhtaar byAl-Haskafi: "It is permissible
to have the names 'Ali and Rasheed, which are common )between Allaah
The Almighty and people(. That is because their meanings concerning us
)human beings( are different from their meanings concerning Allaah The
Almighty." ]End quote[
Allaah Knows best.
