Yes, if he is righteous.

In Islam, does a man who commits zina have the right to call the child that was born from this crime his son or daughter? Can he give them his name?

If he didn’t marry his mother, he can’t give him his name.

I am a Male. My mother is a Muslim and my father is a Christian and he never was a Muslim. My mother and father were not married when they had me and they never got married after. I was raised a Muslim though. It is permissible for me to add an Islamic name to my last name such as AdurRahman or Abdullah?

Yes, this is what you should do as this man is not father.

A brother committed zina and had two children from that. He has now married the sister he committed zina with. Can the children he had with her now be attributed to him? and can they inherit from him according to the strongest opinion?

The majority of scholars say that this is not possible as they were born out of wedlock!

I have lost an item which I desperately need and cannot find it at all. I have read many duas for when you lose something. I know Allah is testing me so I am trying my best to be patient. I was just wondering would it work if I did istikhara in hope that Allah would give me a sign/dream to show me where I can find my item ? If so, how do I do istikhara properly ?

You can only ask Allah for your lost thing! Istikhara here wouldn’t be from the sunnah.

I will be getting married to a revert man who has two children from his previous marriage while he was still a Hindu with a Muslim woman. Their marriage was a civil marriage as he did not convert. They get divorced and the two children are with the mother. My concern is are these two children (a boy and a girl) considered his children or illegitimate? Is he responsible for the two children? And if I were to marry him, this revert man, is his son a mahram to me? Can we stay under one roof? What about his daughter? Is he a mahram to her? If I were to have children with him in future what are the relations between my children and his children? Please help me to clear my doubts. I do not want to live in sin.

Though the marriage was void, he had taken the children in and gave them his name. Therefore, they are now his legitimate children and the boy is Mahram to you.

I am certain we pay enough Zakaah and to the best of my knowledge I have not been unfair to anyone or mistreated anyone. What should I do to comfort myself. I pray this is a way of expiating my sins or a type of sadqa upon my family. Pls guide me as to what […]
