Re: Parents of Adopted child/ren
I've always wanted to adopt a child, but it's always been hammered into my head that islam does not allow adoption. I never knew about what HHL said...
did the prophet not 'adopt' a child?
the only thing not allowed is what HHL has noted, u cant pass the kid as your own and hide the lineage.
sadly majority of adoptions that do go on in pakistan are exactly that, where a newborn is taken and passed as one's biological child, mostly because of the way our society is.
