Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1033/806/D=9/1434) Mateen is one of the attributes of Allah; thus the name should be Abdul Mateen. But besides being an attribute of Allah, this word is used for other meaning as well and applies to others as well; thus it can be used without the prefix of ‘Abd’ like Mateen Ahmad.
