Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 80/43/SN=2/1438)

No doubt it is a rewarding deed to feed the poor and indigent people but the specification of the month of Muharram has no basis, there is no special virtue of doing isal-e-sawab in the month of Muharram as per the Shariah. You may feed in any other month as per your capacity, it is bida’h to fix the month of Muharram for it.

Our niyat is to never change the name of the baby or change the father's name, but since I live and work in the Gulf, the child has to have a passport that matches our names(as adopting father and mother).
