The Attribution of a Child to Someone Other Than His Father
What is the expiation for attributing a child who is not from my womb to my family? I had prevented his mother from aborting him, and in order to not let her kill him or throw him in the street, I took him, raised him, and attributed him to myself, meaning I gave him my family name?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is forbidden for you to attribute him to your family; because adoption is religiously prohibited, and you need to resolve this issue. You will be rewarded for your care and upbringing of him, and God knows best.
