How to Take Care of an Orphan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This Honorable Shaykh truly guides us to know the virtue of taking care of an orphan, and how this care is to be carried out. Is it necessary for him to house the orphan in his own home, or does he, for example, donate to associations or provide for their livelihood?
Answer:
Giving to associations, if it is confirmed that they pay the orphan, is a form of participating in the care of the orphan. However, it is better for one to take charge of the orphan’s care independently, either by having him live in his home with his children, or by providing for his expenses wherever he is. Yes.
