I am a Muslim woman who was born, raised and live in the United States. I was dating a Christian guy for three years and I got pregnant. He promised to convert to Islam and marry me but he never did. He pays alimony for our daughter but my fear is that he might at some point file a law suit claiming his right for custody. I would be devastated for that to happen.

I am now married to a fine Muslim man who treats me well but he doesn’t know anything about my past except that I was previously married and have a daughter. My husband wants to give my daughter his family name and to make her legally his child. My husband and I agreed that when she grows up we will tell her the truth about her biological father.

My question is, is it permissible for my husband to give his family name to my daughter?
