It is not permissible to hand over Muslim orphans to disbelievers, such as Christians, due to the great danger this poses to their Islamic upbringing, and because they are a trust in the hands of Muslims. Allah Almighty said: "And the believing men and believing women are allies of one another," and He said: "And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and great corruption."
