Is changing surname for women after marriage permissible in Islam?
Surname is something which one carries from their father or forefathers. It's a sign of lineage which one belongs to.
Surname is something which one carries from their father or forefathers. It's a sign of lineage which one belongs to.
If we conclude about the women at the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and sahabas, they were known by their father's name even after their marriage e.g. Fatima binte Muhammad, Ayesha binte Abu bakr, Hafsha binte Umar and more on.
Changing Surname After Marriage Is Not Permissible In Islam.
It is like imitating Kuffars. How one can adopt their husband's surname as there isn't any blood relationship between them moreover it is like they belong to their husbands lineage and the husband owns her.
It is a kind of falsehood and humiliation too as the girl has to leave her identity.
Allah (SWT) doesn't like adopting surname other than one's father as he says in surah Ahzab, Ayah 5:
Call them (adopted sons) by the (names of their fathers) that is more just with Allah.
(Quran-33:5)
And also from the narration of Muslim (1735) and Sunan Abi Dawood (4948) we come to know that:
On the day of resurrection, each betrayer will have a banner raised beside him, and it will be said, this is the betrayer of so and so and son of so and so.From the above narration we can conclude that one will always be recognized by their parent's name in this world or hereafter.
May Allah guide us all to the right path and put every girls matter rightly. Ameen!
