Dear scholars, could you please furnish me with a fatwa on the Islamic stance on adoption? Your earliest response will be very much appreciated. Jazakum Allahu Khayran!
Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Does Islam permit adopting children to rear and educate? Jazak um Allah khayran.
I would like to know if an unmarried woman, who has been diagnosed with the inability to have children, could adopt a child without being married? Can she be allowed to raise the child alone? Thank you.
