The ruling on changing the author's name in the critical editions of his books

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, some of the editors of the books of Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) replace "Abd al-Wahhab" with the term "al-Tamimi" with good intentions, because some people who have been confused regarding the Shaykh's biography read these books. Are they correct or not?

Answer:
O my brothers, they did not oppose the Shaykh because of his name; rather, they opposed him because of his da'wah. So if you changed his name entirely, and his father's name and his grandfather's name, they would not accept his da'wah. It is not a matter of talking about the name; it is a matter of talking about the da'wah. They do not want it; they do not want the da'wah of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). So we do not please them by changing the name, and this does not benefit anything. Then, it is not permissible to change names. It is not permissible to change the names of people after their death. And you make the works under a name other than the owner's; this is not permissible. Yes.
