Answer
The transliteration of any Muslim name would differ according to pronunciation of the English Alphabet in different localities (due to different accents). Therefore, whichever transliteration you feel is closest to the Arabic pronunciation would be the best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
