The answer

Filial piety is among the most obligatory duties, and it continues after their death through four things: praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their pledges, honoring their friends, and maintaining ties of kinship that you have only through them. Changing one's name is legally permissible when there is a need and is not considered disobedience to parents.
