Why Not Adopt
Posted by sabirhussain Jun 17, 2005 11:02 am
Very well put indeed. Good for you, Ghazal!

How often is religion and its limitations are being observed by us Muslims when it comes to acquiring the things we deem important, for instance, College Education in the west, a good job etc, etc.... we don`t even bring up the mehram, na-mehram, and all such issues, when it is something which we really want. I am sure none of these things have any value compared to the reward an adoptive parent receives, in this world and the hereafter!!

If uttering a couple of words can make a man and woman mehram for each other in Islam,
then I find it hard to believe that a lifetime devoted to loving and caring for a child cannot do the same.
