ADOPTION IN ISLAM. what do i do??

[ramen-thelegend]

:salam:

i was adopted when i was 5. i dont know if i'm an orphan or...almost nothing...i'm neither interested in knowing as it will bring no good.

my question is that my grandfather,( i mean from the family that adopted me) will be along while i'm hospitalised for two weeks ( which is happening in a couple of days). is that unislamic? i mean is he my mehran? (or mehr or mahram or whatever it is)

is it allowed??

If your adopted mother or someone from her family, did not breastfeed at infancy before 2 then your grandad is not your mahram

now what do i do................................................ .................................................. .....................????

help!

[noraina]

Yes, your grandfather is not your mahram. Allahu'alam, I honestly wouldn't know what to advise you. I think you should really try to bring a female family member along, but if you cannot and it is a matter of your health maybe there would be more flexibility?

May Allah SWT make it easy for you,

Assalamualaikum, young girl.

You can accompanied by your grandpa in hospital, although he is actually not your mahram. Your situation is considered as case of emergency. In the case of emergency, something that forbidden can be allowed. Also, hospital is public place where there are always people (hospital staffs) who will watch you and your grandpa. Even some rooms are shared room which mean you will not only with your grandpa alone.

So, don't cry again, ramen.

Just go with your adoptive grandfather, there is some flexibility in matters such as this. Allah SWT and His religion are merciful, your health is the most important thing atm. :)

Regarding to the situation, yes, it's permitted. I am sure. In the case of emergency, something that forbidden can be allowed if it is necessary to prevent something worse happen.

It was permissible for you to live with your brother before puberty unless you were breastfed by the same mother or same female family member

Ramen,

for this time do not thinking about other things like your brother is ghair mahram or not. Forget that, because.that can disturb your mind and your health. Now just focus to think about your health.

[ramen-thelegend]

how old is your grandad?

around 65-75

[Kiro]

if he is very old then it might be permissible out of necessity.

No, don't say that. Good for us? rid of you? Never would we think of a sister like that, at least not me.

Stay strong, verily Allah SWT is with the patient.

May Allah SWT grant you sabr in these hard times. Ameen.

May Allah SWT heal you. Ameen.

Allah wants to make things easy for you, don't stress and take your grandpa with you iA. :)

و عليكم السلام و رحمة الله

[ConcealedGem]

Also sis, I know you're going through a tough time, may Allah make it easy for you, you are strong. May Allah forgive us all and guide us, in sha Allah your trial will be a means for you to enter Jannah. ❤️

Hopefully this would be of much use.

At times of distress the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, would say:

-يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْث

Transliteration: Ya Hayyu ya Qayyoomu, bi raHmatika astagheeth[u]

Translation: Oh Living, oh Sustainer, in your mercy I plead for rescue. (At-Tirmidhi)



Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would also say:

-اللّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلا وَأنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا

Transliteration: Allahumma laa sahla illaa maa ja`altahu sahlan, wa anta taj`alul-hazna idhaa shi' ta sahlan.

Translation: Oh Allah, there is nothing made easy except what you make easy, and you make the difficult easy, if you wish. (Ibn Hibban and Ibn As-Sunni)


"Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." (Qur'an, 13:28)

[lonewolf007]

Could some scholars take a bit of time out and answer this sisters questions and concerns over her adoption situation please.

Your it in my duas sis please don't do anything you'll regret and please wait till some knowledgable person gets back to you. May Allah make it easy for you and forgive your sins Ameen

Greetings and peace be with you ramen;

honestly i feel like giving up on everything now.i'm locked in my room and i threw up blood and i cant breath properly and i feel like letting myself suffocate and die. i cant even cry loud enough now. i cant take this anymore.........

This is more than likely caused by stress and worry. Read through the 99 names of Allah, he is a merciful, just and forgiving God, you have to believe his mercy is greater than his anger.

Pray for help, wisdom, peace and serenity to do his will, you have little power to do anything else.

Are there any sisters here who can offer ramen any help in the UK?

May Allah bring blessings on you and your family.

[Serinity]

Are there any in wales or wherever she will be? Will anyone want to accompany her?

Any sister who'd like to sleep overnight, etc. lol. May Allah reward any sister who'd do this. Ameen.

[Saleem Khan]

Unless he is related to you some other way he is not your mahram.

Therefore you would have to cover yourself in front of him.

However do this with hikmah and explain the issue carefully these kind of issues are very sensitive.
