What is the ruling of Islamic law on conceiving a child and giving him up to an aunt who is deprived of offspring, on the condition from the aunt's husband that the child be registered in his name?
It is permissible for a son to be given to his paternal aunt and her husband for upbringing without being attributed to them. The basic principle in this is permissibility, provided there is a good intention and the child is not neglected.
As for adoption and attributing a child to other than his father, it is strictly forbidden by Islamic law, whether formally or informally, based on the Almighty's saying: "Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah." Many corruptions result from adoption, such as the mixing of lineages and the inheritance of those who are not entitled to inherit.
The male child given to the paternal aunt and her husband will have a valid relationship.
