Off-topic but what happens if you don’t know who your dad is? I’ve often wondered what happens when you have to fill in those forms at airports etc. (esp in Muslim countries) and you have to give your dad’s name

Guardian name I guess.

Dont change. Keep your name if you like it.

@Theorist

I am not saying whose name you should take on. I am just commenting on the judgement day part. I always read and heard that you will be called out by your mother’s name.

Judgement day everyone will be called by fathers name. Hadith’s support that. I think RV was saying adopted kids should keep their fathers names because that’s how they will be called on judgement day.

Okie.

Re: To hyphenate or not

I wouldn’t do it because

1: As mentioned, we are suppose to keep our father’s name since that’s how we will be called upon on judgement day.

2: 12 letters of last name sounds a bit too long and if you’re not all (husband+kids) going to adopt the hypheated edition of the name, I don’t see any reason to do it.

3: Hassle of changing it on legal papers, research papers, publications. Meh.

Re: To hyphenate or not

I didn’t change mine but then again I still can if I want to. In our home, we all have different last names now and I feel like it looks messy.

Like hubs has a different name (he used his middle name as his last name when he got to US), mine is different and baby has both of our last names…mine as his middle name and then husband’s family name.

I think there’ll be a lot more to worry about on judgement day than your last name :-/

Have you considered hyphenation?

Re: To hyphenate or not

^Slimy, it’s said that among the first things you’ll be questioned about is your namaz…but we will have a lot more than namaz to worry about on Judgment day…as even namaz isn’t a guaranteed ticket to paradise. But one should try to do however much they can…and try their best to put into practice the things that they learn about. Nobody has said that one who changes their last name is doomed to hell. But again…it’s good to know about rulings…and then it’s up to the individual whether or they want to apply them.
