Directing the daughter of fornication to centers in the lands of disbelief.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question the brother asked a moment ago regarding America, the ruling on the matter... There are Islamic centers now existing in the state regarding the issue of foundlings who have repented. Instead of sending this girl to a shelter, to avoid the dispute, send this young girl to that Islamic center, and this exists specifically in the state of...
The Shaykh : This is a good way out, but we should know what the Islamic center does with a girl like this?
The questioner : It has been open for six years. At first, it was in... It is run by brothers from Sudan. This center is praised and spoken of well. There are three other new centers, but they are small. It may be permissible, I do not know, for them to have a placement.
The Shaykh : I mean, you do not know how.
The questioner : The center has good Islamic administration, Arab culture, Qur'anic culture, and Sunnah culture.
The Shaykh : My question is specifically regarding this problem: how do they solve it there?
The questioner : This girl, instead of going... specifically if her father is a Muslim.
The Shaykh : My brother, I understood your words, but I hope you do not repeat yourself. Give me the answer to my question: she has arrived at the center, what do they do with her? You will say, for example, they raise her. Do they raise her as if she has no father?
The questioner : It is on this basis.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what I want to be reassured about.
The questioner : Islamic upbringing without a father, I mean.
The Shaykh : Do they issue an identity for her?
The questioner : That is not required, but only Islamic upbringing.
Another questioner : ... They give them a fictitious name.
The Shaykh : Here, the path of adoption is taken, even though this is forbidden in Islam. Whereas there, the disbelievers do not have anything that is forbidden, so it is permissible by way of necessity permitting the prohibited. They permit something for which there is no necessity to permit it. And therefore, out of a desire for reassurance, we wanted to know how they handle this problem.
The questioner : If this is what our brother Ali is saying, that he directs the girl to them, there is no harm on him, and she grows up Muslim.
The Shaykh : He draws his attention to a center like this.
