Adoption in Islam differs from Western concepts. While caring for orphans and abandoned children is highly encouraged, adopted children retain their biological lineage and inheritance rights. The Quran prohibits changing a child’s identity to match adoptive parents. Instead, foster care emphasizes love, support, and education without altering legal ties. This approach ensures transparency and fairness within families. Scholars highlight the importance of providing for orphans’ needs, both materially and emotionally, as a form of worship.
