Divorcee adopting a child

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2018-02-24 07:03

Q: I have been divorced for 2 years and now I dont have any feelings to get married again. I have this thought in my mind that I should adopt an orphan baby girl and raise her as my daughter fulfilling all her needs and getting her married when she grows up. Can you please guide me on if this would be allowed in Islam? What would be my reward for adopting a girl and raise her and what would be the gunah of not marrying?

Q: I am a second wife currently pregnant and my husband and his parents are emotionally and verbally abusing me. His first marriage is in community of property leaving all of his assets to his first wife while mine was just a nikaah and he has only provided a house for me. He has always falsely accused me of being unfaithful when I gave him no reason to believe so. He says that the child I'm carrying is not his. I am very hurt and I have left my home and don't want to go back to him. Can I register my child using my surname because of the situation that I'm in? He has also told me that he will be selling my house. He left nothing for me and our unborn child while his first family lives a cosy lavish life. Please advise me.

Registering adopted child under the adoptive fathers name

Q: May I ask if me and my husband can adopt and register under my husband's last name my sisters's (non-muslim sister) newborn child. Due to some circumstances the baby cant be registered because the father wont allow to put it under his name. (Unfortunately they are not married), so we are finding the way to help the baby to be registered and that is why we came up with the idea of adopting the child instead. Is it permissible? There is no possibility to put the baby's name under her own father.
