Having Rahmaan only as a surname
Question
I have been blessed with a boy and a girl. We want to name them Faiyaz Rahman and Muntaha Rahman respectively. Is this permissible to have Rahman as a surname?
Answer
Rahman should be part of the name and not the surname alone. It should have a prefix.
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.
