A Hindu male wanting to marry a Muslim lady emIslam, but refuses to change his Hindu name.

Question

A Hindu male wanting to marry a Muslim lady emIslam, but refuses to change his Hindu name. What is his status?

Answer

He remains a Hindu. His conversion to Islam is deception. The woman, if she is a genuine Muslim will in later life regret when it is too late to rgret. A person who refuses to abandon and change his mushrik name without valid reason, displays his affinity for shirk. Why would he have reservations regarding changing his name if he is a true Muslim? It is incumbent for him to adopt a Muslim name so as to identify with Islam. If he refuses without having a valid reason, he will not be a true Muslim.
