Muslim Adoption/Muslim Orphans

Yes, adoption. I’ll use that word, and don’t derail this topic by arguing over semantics.

My question is this: If you have an orphan who is muslim, is a non-muslim family allowed to adopt the orphan (raise them, etc)?

Does the Pakistani government and charity organizations allow for non-muslim families to adopt muslim children, or do they try to find a muslim home for the child?

Re: Muslim Adoption/Muslim Orphans

i feel that this question is more about pakistan policies than religion and Pak1 is a more suited forum....

P.S. if Pak 1 mods feel its unwanted they can toss it back to me

Re: Muslim Adoption/Muslim Orphans

what about all the parents who lost kids adop the ones who lost their parents in their earthquake?

^ You'd think that's how it would work.

Re: Muslim Adoption/Muslim Orphans

obviously their pain wont be lessened but at least those kids would have a home!

Re: Muslim Adoption/Muslim Orphans

Well, but does anyone know the official policies in Pakistan for sending muslim orphans off to non-muslim families abroad?
