Q: Is it okay to adopt a child (a baby girl) from a poor single mother (the father died) who has other kids as well? She is not able to financially provide for the family well.

I understand the mahram and non-mahram restrictions.

Also, I know that we cannot change the father and family lineage of the adopted child. Won't it be a sin for me and my wife that we are separating a child from her siblings and mother as we live in a different continent?

Q: We are Muslims and a childless couple. We adopted a baby girl and we don't know about her parentage. We want to give her our name and identity and raise her as our own, without telling her that she was adopted. We don't know who are her parents. Is this allowed?

Divorcee adopting a child

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?

Registering a child on the mother's name

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

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2017-09-28 06:27

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.

Giving one's child for adoption

Q: I have been married for the past fourteen years now and we have no children though all our reports are normal (both of us). My wife's brother has a daughter and he is younger in age, he used to feel bad about this and finally took some strength and spoke to me that they will give birth to a new born and will hand it over to us. His wife is pregnant now. It was agreed between us, him, his family and the family of his wife and they are also very happy to give us the baby, they do not want a new child for themselves as they said we are happy with one child. Is this allowed as per Islam? Now the thing is that his wife is due in this month for delivery and we have no option for the same. But then too please let me know in the light of Islam.
