Child Adoption

[Mirch]

@TLK

Yup. Its advisable to have the adopted kid drink the milk of new mom or one of her relative so he/she remains mehram after becoming adult. That is it.

This covers only one scenario. What about other possibilities where mother and father of a kid died who has passed breast feeding age ?
Bukhari mentions many ahadees in which even grown up kids touching puberty were breast fed by women even the days of Rasool Allah(SAW) but those ahadees go against teachings of Islam.

• how can a female breastfeed a child if she is never been pregnant or didn’t give birth to a child when they adopt the kid

Good question.

@T1000

then the kid would be “mehram” to that particular women, not to the family who adopted it??? isn’t it?
Exactly.
Let say if someone adopts a girl, would that girl and then the "so called father " (i duno how to refer him) would be mahram for her? I have doubts now .. .. ..

Lets say if someone adopts a boy, would that boy will be mahram to his “so called sisters” .. ??

Good questions. Adoption is not against religion , but what to do in these kinds of situations needs some research. When there is a will there is a way . If Islam does not disallow adoption , but there is a concept of mehram and na mehram then these questions need to be answered in the light of shariat a Mohammadi(SAW). If I get time I will do some research to answer all these good questions. Intezar farma-e-a
