This is a very difficult topic and one which has led many Muslims to shy away from adopting which is ☹️.

[@uroobaahmed5178]

This lecture is definitely a game changer!! SubhanAllah thank you sooo much!! People talk so badly about adoption it made me doubt Islam for a while.

[@MrWatchme1989]

Do not judge Islam based on us ordinary Muslims who are misinformed and uneducated on the specific laws of Islam. Especially in an era where people with very little knowledge would speak up and give you information like they know everything. Islam is the most complete religion. A former Christian at work told me how amazing Islam is in terms of giving us guidance for literally everything in life, from how to enter your house, to which foot you wear your shoes on first. And that is what essentially Islam is. A way of life. So it's always good to do research.

Sister, may I ask you questions regarding halal way of “adopting/fostering” a child? InShaaAllah it is one of my plan if ever I grow older and remain unmarried and childless. I would like to ask about the documents and naming of the child, since we have to follow islamic rules regarding this topic. And did your foster mother become your “milk mother”? Or not? May Allah reward you and your foster mother with good and increase the love and care between you two ❤

[@Ppomia]

My husband was adopted by a muslim family at birth. His adopted parents never told him he was adopted until few months ago which he is 54 years old now. This was a shocking news for us and had emotional impacked on us and our teenager children. He doesn't know what race he is but base on his appearance he look like chines. His biological mother passed away 10 years ago and he had a chance to meet his biological mother but his adopted parents did tell him nothing about his mother and his real identity. What does Islam says about these kind of adopted parents and what is my husband's right as a child and now adult in Islam that had been decived by ppl like that?

[@adamdamelio6629]

It's forbidden in Islam to say to someone that they are their true parents when they're not even if they love him

[@fouziaismailfouziamohamed9170]

Sheikh I have a question. I found a baby 1 day old left in a deserted place and adopted her i got the legal papers from the court and police. She is now 15 years old and i raised her like i raised my biological children which are 5. I love her like my own daughter. I do not know her parents. The police could not find.them. if i do not know her parents is it ok to give the same name as my other children?. I could not let her know before now, because I was protecting her feelings but I am planning to tell her this coming summer now that she is grown up and can handle the situation

Your name should be fine as long as your not claiming lineage that’s what I heard hopefully it’s true

NOT ONLY IN RUSSIAN OR UKRAINE, ALSO IN TAJIKISTAN, UZBEKISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN, AZERBAIJAN OR KYRGYSTAN KEEP THEIR FATHER'S NAME SAME TIME.

[@jamilamarr9771]

Question when it comes to mahram. As a single woman that hasn't lactated what should I do if I choose to adopt? I figured I should adopt girls, no mahram issue. But then I thought; if I ever get married my husband wouldn't be mahram for them so they'd always have to be fully dressed in the house. So I thought I should adopt boys because then if I get married, I'd be the only one uncomfortable fully dressed in the house versus I'm comfortable but all my daughters can't be. Or do I just stay single, solidify my finances so I can adopt orphan girls and call it a day?

[@MUZLIM1234]

This is my question too I’m sort of sad 😞

[@sta._rina]

I heard around from these vids that if theres a woman in your family that can breast feed the child they'll become mahram.

[@WolfeatsCheeseburger]

Ideally there should be a father figure but even though you will be blessed by Allah SWT.

[@gumnamaparichit1174]

You can use pill for lactation or if you have any blood relative who is lactating can feed that child.

[@TC-xx1sv]

There are medicines which allow for lactation to be induced. Do some research, there are several lactation centers in the Middle East that can assist you.

[@somaiyahahmed]

I don’t know if I am going to get this question answered. But is there any other way I child can become a mahram, beside the breast milk, because women can’t produce breast milk unless the give birth to a child and that’s only for a little why.

[@ekramababneh5805]

It's breastfeeding but not through the wife, what I'm saying is, the sister of the husband can breastfeed the child so the child is mahram to the father because it's their niece/nephew. And the sister of the wife can breastfeed the child so it also becomes mahram to her. In this way the foster child will be mahram to all the family. I hope I gave a clear explanation.

[@SamanthaJBoyle]

You can see a lactation consultant and take medicine to produce breastmilk

[@saeerseik7577]

Psychologically speaking if someone is living with you and treating you as a father and you are treating him like a son, so the sexual attraction between the opposite gender became extinct.. So he is your mahram now

[@naddastudio1]

Thank you for this. My question is what happens when there’s no option of breastfeeding? For example the adopted parents don’t have other children and the woman doesn’t lactate. In situations where the child is abandoned or adopted from an orphanage from a very young age (within the first few weeks of his/her life. How does the mehram issue and the lineage issue be resolved?

[@asharvai8804]

In this modern era,You do can have some medication that helps grow the hormones need for lactation!

[@naddastudio1]

@hey hey In many third world countries the orphanages that allow adoptions don’t have such records. Sometimes babies are left at their doorstep or abandoned due to poverty. Expecting to find lineage records is not realistic in most cases. The lactation issue is also something only Allah knows the answer to because I personally know a few couples who adopted babies and those kids are now almost 10 years old. No one ever advised them or guided them on this so the babies weren’t breastfed (with medication). To say that those kids will become non-mehram to their adoptive parents doesn’t make sense to me. All I know is Islam is very logical. Allah knows best.

[@SafaRaghib]

Sister if you are referring to your will, that you wish to donate all your possessions to charity after your death, in that scenario even if you don't have children you may have parents, siblings, cousins, a spouse etc who are legally mandated by Allah to have a share in your inheritance and you cannot deny them this. Consult with a scholar or muslim professional to see how your possessions will be divided. You may give upto one third of your wealth in charity but not more, if you have any relations mentioned as inheritors in the Quran. If what you meant was you wish to give your wealth in charity during your life, and you are not terminally ill, then you may give as much of your wealth as you like, even all of it, as long as it does not lead to you falling short of your responsibilities (like paying your bills or supporting your relatives). And Allah knows best

My question regarding breastfeeding: in this day and age freezing breast milk is a very good option for mothers who store thier supply. Is it possible for an adopted child to consume the frozen (defrosted) milk to initiate the act or is it required that this be from the breast itself? Thank you

[@saundramonette4137]

He already answered that with the case of Salim. The mother had the milk put in a vessel and then gave it to her child because they were too old.

[@niyanah1237]

Wait I’m confused what if you adapt a child but you don’t have any kids to produce breast milk how will you make them your mahram?

There are pills available for lactation or any blood relative can feed the child.

[@oldlahore1857]

I have a question. Even after the child becomes a mahram (through breastfeeding), still the rules of maintaining the child's lineage still apply, right?

Assalamualaikum sister, did you continue considering adopting? I understand your worries about family looking down on adoption (the permissible way of adopting or fostering an orphan), but taking care of an orphan is an honorable deed. We should not fear the judgement from other people if we are doing good, but we should highly value the judgement that is from Allah 🤍

@@tp4821 If you are adopting a child, I believe it should be for the sake of giving them shelter in this world and the next. Why would you raise that child with a different religion? So, that you can pour all your love into him/her only to watch them go to hell? This doesn't make any sense. A bigger rahma on this child than providing them shelter and honour is giving them Islam. You secure their afterlife that way too.

[@fathimahanna8479]

I dont think Allah is gonna punish you. He is the most merciful. It was your brother who changed the names maybe for easiness of record works and all. And you already know your true lineage that who your real mother and father are. As long as your brother doesn't claim you as his own real son no problem I guess. I'm not very sure about inheritance ruling by the way.

You should ask a mufti

[@TomboyGirl-n8r]

How is adoptation haram and at the same time you are allowed to marry your adopted son in law's wife 🤡 adoption is not a sin in islam whats important is to never change your adopted son in law's name in order not to cause confusion like what if your adopted son has inheritence from his birth parents or certain money rights and if he got older and he fall in love with a certain girl and wanted to marry her what if she turns out to be his sister so his name should be kept as it is to stay away from any troubles ! this source of information( aisha's age and marrying your adopted son in law's wife ) is from hadiths and some muslims dont take hadiths as a source of legislation especially those written by bukhari because he wrote it after the prophet death by two hundred years and prophet muhammed clearly didnt ask this bukhari dude to write them down !
