What is the ruling on using a name other than your own, or changing it, when registering on websites or in phone contacts, such as changing "Ibrahim" to "Ibrahimović"? And is this considered imitation of disbelievers, given the prevalence of such names among Muslims in the Yugoslavia region?
It is permissible to use a name other than your own or to change it on websites and phone lists, as long as the name is not forbidden and does not imply attributing oneself to someone other than one's father. There is no harm in the name "Ibrahimov," and it is not considered imitation.
