In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

In this fatwa:

When Prophet Muhammad adopted Zayd ibn Harithah, he changed Zayd’s name to ‘son of Muhammad’. But Allah the Almighty told the Prophet to marry Zayd’s ex-wife. This was to establish the fact that no one could take a child as their son and change their name.

Sheikh Hasib Noor explains the wisdom and reasoning behind this in this video:
