Adoption in Islam

Question:
Are we allowed to adopt children and consider them as our own children?

Answer:
It is permissible for a person to adopt a child and taking care of a deserving child on their own earns is a rewarding deed, but the child legally (Islamic Shariah) is not considered his son or daughter; i.e. the child remains non-mahram to him, or his wife and he or she does not inherit from the ones who have adopted him or her.

Adoption in the sense to change a child's surname and registering him in the official documents as the parent's own child is not permissible.
