Re: Adopting a Child - A taboo?
I think it’s both inheritance and Mahram issue. It’s mighty awkward if the son is not his mother’s Mehram and a father is not his daughter’s. If a mother breast feeds a child not her own only then the child if a boy becomes her Mehram and her husband becomes Mehram towards the girl. And they still can’t inherit more than 1/3rd or something. I think they can be gifted property in the adopted parents lifetime.
