She has been brought up by them as their real daughter. Now she has grown up and they are worried as the Quranic orders are quite clear. What should they do at the time of her marriage
Question
one of my near frelatives had no issue after marriage. Therefore, they adopted a girl from a hospital, whose parents names were not known. So far due to necessity of life, they have given their own names as father and mother.
She has been brought up by them as their real daughter. Now she has grown up and they are worried as the Quranic orders are quite clear. What should they do at the time of her marriage
Answer
According to Shariah, your relatives will be the guardian of the adopted girl. A guardian may also arrange for the child’s marriage and such a Nikah is valid.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
