What is the ruling on adoption in this case, and is the adoptive father considered a mahram to his adopted son's wife and daughters?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Allah has forbidden adoption and nullified all its rulings, such as lineage, inheritance, and mahramiyyah (being an unmarriageable kin). One must be attributed to their biological father.
The adopted child's paternal uncle is not a mahram to his (the uncle's) wife, but he is a mahram to his (the adopted child's) daughters.
