I am a Muslim girl. My boyfriend was hindu, now is Muslim. His name is
Akshay Kumar and Muslim name is Omar. Does he hasto change his name in
papers or Md. Akshay Kumar will be OK? We are gonna be married very
soon. That's why I am confused about the name that he should use in
paper works.
Farniq.
A: Salamualaikum,
Apart from what brother Wael said, the name Omar for Akshay is great.
But I think Kumar will be required, as Islam keeps the names of the
fathers attached to the children's.
I was in touch with this Islamic center here. A girl reverted to Islam
and changed her name to Sumaiyyah. So, she was called Sumaiyyah Naidu.
Because Islam gives importance to where one comes from, I mean the
lineages.
