I have been reading this forum, and though I haven't reached a conclusion yet, I did want to ask a question. What brought me to this forum, was because I was looking for my aunt. I love her very much, and she cannot carry her own children. Many of you have suggested adopting, which I feel is a wonderful option. However, there is a problem.
My aunt first looked into adoption, then became pregnent herself. Then, (minus the details) lost that child shortly. On and off she has become pregnant only to lose it time and time again. It is devistating for her.
She decided to look into adoption again, however, the adoption agencies are now telling her she is too old (she is 38) to be considered for adoption.
She would love to be able to adopt, but is seems as if this option is now closed to her.
I love her very much, and gave it some thought, but I wanted to look into it before aproching her. I would be willing to carry a child formed from her and her husband, but am terrified to commit a sinful act. I know it will be hard for me, and again I still have yet to form an opinion based on what I've read in this forum.
But, if anyone has anything more to say, since for my aunt adoption doesn't seemed to be an option anymore either. What do you think?

I totally agree with Sister herjihad. Scholar worship is one of the important problems in the Muslim world. I understand why she used the word worship because there is no better word that can convey the meaning of ibadah. Basically, it is shirk to allow any human being to make a halaal, haram or the other way around. Scholars have their opinions that you can agree or disagree. Now, in an islamic state, when the opinion is adopted by the Amir through consultations with peoples' representatives (ahlulhal wa'aqd), it is binding for all muslim citizens yet, you still do not have to agree and express your difference of opinion. Allowing anyone no matter how big a scholar to make or break laws is haram as it's only Allah SWT that is a true legislator. Wassalaam Shazia |

It still does not mean surrogacy is not allowed. In Canadian law, surrogate mother becomes the legal mother but then biological mother adopts the child. Same can be done using above ayah even though that ayah is clearly in a different context. Plus, natural mother can breastfeed by using lactaing harmones therapeutically and make the child not only mehram but her own radha'ee child/son. She does not have to breast feed the baby to make mehram. I have heard Aisha RA adopted children and had them breastfed by other mehram women that made them mehram to her as well through the radh'a relation. Now some scholars may come up and say even breastfeeding by harmones is illegal as it is not allowed in Islam (without daleel), but what can we do about such scholars who cannot see beyond their nose. Such scholars considered aeroplanes, Radio, TV, loud speakers, computers and internet all haraam untill very recently and now issuing fatwas on Tv and internet. I hope muslim scholars catch up with science and technology. Shazia |
