adoption??

[_samira_]

Asalamu alaikum..

I was wondering if anyone knows the islamic ruling re: once an adopted child becomes baligh (mature).

If a Muslim woman has adopted (or fostered) a Muslim boy since he was a baby or a young child, does she still have to wear full hijab infront of him once he comes of age? What about showing motherly affection to him, or even being alone with him? Is this halal? I know technically he is not a mahram as he is not a blood relative, nor has he been breastfed but is this an exceptional case?

Is the ruling the same for the man and an adopted girl?

JazakAllahuKhair... I appreciate any serious replies.

Asalamu alaikum.

You must be kidding me adopted kids are considered your kids.
Can't you just use your brain for once and find out the answer for yourself. There is a reason why God provided us with brain, trust me it's to use them.

CMON SAMIRA!

Thats ridiculous! Why adopt if you wont treat them with the sincere way you would treat your OWN kids?

For the sake of peace, I'll choose to ignore your rudeness.

Secondly, islamically they are not considered YOUR kids as they keep their father's name and identity. No-one has the right to hide that from a child or to claim a child as their own while their real parents are alive.

Do you even believe in God anyway?

I agree sister, you have to treat them sincerely and as your own but in Islam, you can't change their sirname or hdie the fact that they are adopted, as they have the right to know where they came from. Obviously that shouldn't change the way you treat them and you are an 'acting-in' mother while your bringing them up.

Do you want me to try and find the evidence for you when I can? Unfortunately I dont know it off the top of my head but inshallah I could find it for you..?
