Taking Your Husband's Last Name

Assalamu Alaikum,

Many women follow the way of many women from different cultures and faiths and take the name of their husbands which is incorrect.

Allah says in the interpretation of the meaning:


"Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in the sight of Allah. But if ye know not their father's (names, call them) your Brothers in faith, or your maulas. But there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein: (what counts is) the intention of your hearts: and Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful." - Quran 33:5


"Prophet (saw) said, "One who claims that someone is his father and knows that it is not true will be forbidden of paradise" (Sahih al-Jami )
