Changing name from David Tyler to Dawud Yusuf


A: It is permissible for you to change the name from David Tyler to Dawud Yusuf. The Prophet (peace be upon him) changed the name of some Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet). He changed the name of Abu Al-Hakam to Abu Shurayh as in the Hadith related by Abu Dawud. Furthermore, he changed the name of a man from Hazan to Sahl, and changed the name of Barrah to Juwayriyah. (Related in Muslim) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
