Using the word ‘Khuda’ for Allah is permissible

Some evidences that using the word Khuda (a Persian word for The Almighty) for Allah is permissible.

Abdullah ibn Mubarak, a Tabai, using the word ‘Khuda’

“And it was also narrated from Muḥammad bin Salām, who said: Faḍālah asked ‘Abdullāh bin al-Mubārak concerning the Descent (al-Nuzūl) [of Allāh] on the night of the middle of Sha‘bān. ‘Abd Allāh replied: ‘O weak one! Do you find God (Khudā, Khaddaya) to be a night-watchman (actually shab-gīr, written in Arabic as Khosheerkun)? He descends how He wills.'”

Note: By asking specifically about the 15th of Sha’ban, the questioner implied that Allah’s “Descent” is a special event limited to that night. Ibn al-Mubārak refutes this by asking, “Do you think God is a night-worker [who only shows up on this specific night]?” He then affirms the orthodox Sunni stance in the final Arabic clause: “He descends how He wills” (meaning, He is not restricted by the limits you are imposing).

Imam Ibn Taymiyyah on using the word Khuda

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Lord, may He be glorified, may be referred to in Arabic as Allah, ar-Rahmaan (the Most Gracious), ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful), and in Farsi as Khoda and so on, but He, may He be glorified, is One, and there are many ways to refer to Him.
