Fatwa number ( 14360 )
Q: A young man bears the name of his maternal uncle; that is, his maternal uncle adopted him—and of course with the consent of his parents—since this young man was born, and he bears his maternal uncle's name. Is it permissible for him to bear his maternal uncle's name? Is it permissible for him to marry while bearing his maternal uncle's name? And is this person considered a liar when asked, "What is your name?" and he answers with his maternal uncle's name?
A: It is not permissible for him to claim lineage to anyone other than his father; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Ahzab 33:4-5] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1370a
Narrated by Muslim and others. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And he has not made your adopted sons your [true] sons. That is [merely] your saying by your mouths, but Allah says the truth, and He guides to the [right] way. (5) Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you.
وَمَا جَعَلَ أَدْعِيَاءَكُمْ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ (4) ادْعُوهُمْ لآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْIf anyone makes a false claim to paternity, or being a client of other than his own masters, there is upon him the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people.
من ادعى إلى غير أبيه أو انتمى إلى غير مواليه فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعينNarrated by Muslim and others. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
