Our Common Mistakes - Woman dropping her father's name and adopting husband's name after marriage!
It’s a thread
This is haraam. It is not permissible for a woman to take her husband’s name or his family name because that is attributing oneself to someone other than one’s father, and imitating the kuffaar from whom this custom was adopted.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam said: "Whoever calls himself by other than his father’s name (or attributes himself to someone other than his father),
Narrated from Abu Dharr RadiAllahuanhu that he heard the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam say: “Any man who knowingly attributes himself to someone other than his father is guilty of kufr.
It was narrated that Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas and Abu Bakrah said: The Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa sallam said:
What else needs to be said in this matter when clear commands of prophet (SAW) are present?
It is not permitted for anyone to claim to belong to anyone other than his father. Imitating the kuffaar by dropping the wife’s surname and giving her the husband’s name is haraam;
If taking husband's name is allowed in Islam. .Prophet Muhammad's (who was the best human being) wives would have kept his name after their names !
But still Aisha remained as Aisha bint Abubakr
Even his wives whose fathers were kuffar
Eg. Saffiya bint Huyayy
(Huyayy was a jew and a staunch enemy of the Prophet SAW)
Anyone who has done this must repent to Allaah and put it right by going back to her father’s name.
Each one of us is accountable for our actions on the Day of Judgement! Don't obey others to disobey Allah (even if it be your parents or your husband).
May Allah guide us to the right path!
