Topic: Adopting a Child and Changing their Parentage    (No-11123)

Q Is it permissible to adopt a child and change their parentage?

a Adopting a child with their consent and raising them is permissible according to Shariah. However, changing the adopted child's father's name is considered a grave sin. That being said, it is permissible to list the adoptive parent as the child's guardian.
Furthermore, an adopted child does not inherit from their adoptive parents; they are only entitled to a share of their biological parents' inheritance.

عَنْ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ ، وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ ، فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ.
