The Adoption of Orphans by People of the Book
A Muslim woman in Italy found a girl with a Christian woman, and the Christian woman wants to adopt the girl, while the Muslim woman does not want this and prefers to hand her over to a care home; to preserve the child's natural disposition, what is the ruling on her action?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Muslim woman has the choice to care for or not care for [something] according to her circumstances, and God knows best.
