Depending on which site and which version you look at, Aladdin's father's name is either Mustapha or Kaseem. His mother is not named, but in the traditional pantomime version of Aladdin, she is known as the Widow Twankey.

Panto is most definately one of the area's where there is no definative answer - it is after all a rfairy tale. Widow Twankey is recognised as the Mother/Aunt/Guardian of Alladin but most scripts dismiss his father as a loser who either died 0R left under dubious circumstasnces.
As the father (and mother) for that matter don't feature in the story they don't usually get a mention.
The script being used usually defines Twankeys relationship to Alladin (In the first couple of lines of Twankey's first speech
"have any of you seen that useless (son/lad/etc etc) of mine" his father is the usually described as "he ran off with" "he died lesaving ....." etc

And just for you info - Our Panto 2004 is Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
