After marriage, can a woman carry her husband’s surname?
Assalam walaikum Mufti,
I’d like to ask a question concerning changing your name when married. As a Muslim woman is it Haram to carry my husband’s surname after marriage, is it Haram or a choice?
Wa Alaikum Assalaam,
الجواب و بالله التوفيق
No, it is not Haraam to carry your Husband’s surname after marriage. It is permissible to do so and it is your choice.
And Allah Knows Best.
