Is it permissible to change the names of children after they have passed the age of six?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The guidelines for changing names were previously clarified in Fatwa no. 20130 and Fatwa no. 41778. When it is possible to change a name, there is no difference whether it is changed at one age or another.
