Re: (for men)are you or would you be close to your in-laws?
Where does it say its haram to have the same last name as your husband? Is there some fatwa I missed out on this, in the United States most U.S couples have the same last name?
Some people just like to make everything haram, they have turned this beautiful simple humble religion into nothing but rules and regulations, haram this and haram that.
Follow the kufar? Well why do we live in the West then? We can’t totally isolate ourselves, i mean why use email, computers, facebook, pay US taxes, celebrate mothers day, that’s all stuff kufars started to no?
Sorry I don’t take that isolationist form of view when it comes to being a Muslim, we live in the West and we have to integrate to some degree, this all of topic though, sorry to the orig poster.
