What is the ruling of a child taking the mother's surname instead of the father's? |
|
|
|
As far as a Muslim mans family name, the common practice in Muslim society is that the children take it from their fathers and that is in line with the Qur'anic verse that states 'call them by their father's (name)'. (33:5)
So the children will take the title of their fathers, they don't take the name of their mothers. Though it is expected of a child, male or female, to carry the father's family name, it would not be a cultured prejudice or disadvantage to a Pakistani or Indian Muslim child if he/she did not bear the father's name.
