Fatwa number ( 5227 )
Q: I wish to change my previous name to the new Islamic name, which is: (Dawud Yusuf). I requested the official authorities to change it, and they asked me to obtain a fatwa from this authority permitting it.
A: It is permissible to change the name from (David Tyler) to Dawud Yusuf. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed the names of some of the Companions; he changed the name of Abu al-Hakam to Abu Shurayh , as narrated by Abu Dawud . He also changed the name Hazn to Sahl, and changed the name of Barrah to Juwayriyyah , as narrated by Muslim . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
