Keep the name Raheem

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Tafseer Raheemi

Question

Salam!!!

I wanted to know if you can keep the name Raheem on its own without adding Abdur?

It’s been asked and one person said that Raheem means merciful and human can be merciful towards another human.

please let me know asap jazakallah!

If you cant please give me evidence

Answer

No, you cannot use an attribute of Allah on it’s own. Literal meaning is OK, But it is quite commonly known that Allah is Rahman and Raheem as we read in Bismillah and in Surah Fatiha. So it would be disrespectful to do so.
