Abstract

The impacts of war, natural disasters like tsunamis and large floods, sinking of illegal immigrant boats and ships in the ocean, social problems, and the lack of education, especially in third-world countries have given rise to the number of abandoned or dumped children without documents who are known as foundlings. In this regard, these children are considered as children ‘found’ or picked up from the street as their, their parents and their next of kin’s names are unknown due to the lack of identification, documentation or possessions with them when they were found. They are known as (Al-Laqit) in Islam. This study aims to study the definition & term of Al-Laqit (abandoned children or foundling) from the perspective of the jurisprudence and the views of the 4 schools of madhabs as well as a “comparison” of debate of Al-Laqit as written by Sheikh Daud Bin Abdullah Al-Fatani in his book "Sullam Al-Mubtadi". Qualitative methodology based on literature review is applied to detail this matter. The findings and out-comes of this study revealed that Sheikh Daud Bin Abdullah Al-Fatani explained the concept of Al-Laqit in his work based on Shariah.
