Woman changing her surname after nikaah
Q: Can a woman replace her father's name with her husband's name after marriage? Some friends sent me a post which says that it is strictly forbidden in Islam to add my husband's name with my name instead of my father. They have reasoned that if it was permissible, then the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's) wives would have done the same, which they did not. Please could you quote some Hadith for this.
