Using a different name online
Question
As it is not safe to use our real names online, I use the abbreviation of my name. Is this permissible? If not then what else can I use beside my real name so that my identity is not exposed?
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
