Frequently Asked Questions
Can the baby take the full father's name?
This is not permitted in Islam, but is allowed for Christian families. The child of a Muslim Kafala family can either take the first name of the father or the last name of the family. Religion forbids the child to take both names.Example:• If the given names of the child are: Mohamed Ahmed AbdAllah Sayed• The Kafala father's name is: Hany Mohsen Mohamed El Mallah• The child name can be either: Mohamed Hany AbdAllah Sayed (taking the father’s first name)• Or Mohamed Ahmed AbdAllah Sayed El Mallah (taking the family’s name)
What are the kafala eligibility conditions?
1- Either one or both spouses must acquire Egyptian citizenship. 2- The age of the applicants must be between 21 and 60 years old. If a single woman applies, she must be at least 30 years old and obtain her family's consent if she plans to live with them along with the child. 3- A stable source of income is required. 4- A suitable residence for the family and the child must be available. 5- If the parents applying for kafala have biological children, the youngest child must be at least two years old.
I want to have a kafala child, but I am afraid of the responsibility that comes with it.
Raising a child comes with great responsibility, so being afraid is only a natural feeling. However, we can assure you that all kafala parents felt the same way at some point during their kafala process, yet they can all confirm that kafala has been the most beautiful decision they ever took.
