Re: Having a baby outside of marriage?
I’m curious about that as well. I’ve heard some people (the Islamic Studies teacher) at my school say it’s not allowed. But I always thought that adoption is allowed, however the adopted child does not receive your last name nor inheritence. I thought that Prophet SAWS had an adopted son. I’d have to look that up as well…or if someone knows about it and shed some light on the matter, it would be appreciated. Again, it’s not as bad as premarital sex resulting in a baby…but again…society won’t have an easy-breezy attitude about it either.
