Question: Is it permissible to bury a kaafir child in a Muslim graveyard if a Muslim has adopted him, and then he (the child) dies before reaching the age of puberty?
Response: It is not permissible to bury a kaafir in a Muslim graveyard, regardless of whether he was adopted by a Muslim or not, or whether he had reached the age of puberty or not. However, if there was any indication as to his (having accepted) Islaam, then he is to be buried in a Muslim graveyard. It should be noted that adoption is forbidden in Islaam [while fostering is permissible], because Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:
{Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers}, [Soorah al-Ahzaab, Aayah 5].
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
