Will God forgive her the sin of abandoning her newborn and placing it in an orphanage, knowing that she was forced to conceal her pregnancy and submit to her guardian out of fear of the consequences?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The sister must repent to Allah if she concealed her pregnancy and childbirth and placed her baby in an orphanage, as this action is forbidden and considered an assault on the rights of the child and his father. For repentance from this sin, in addition to the well-known conditions of repentance, it is required to free oneself from this injustice by informing the child and his guardian about his father.
