Question:
He says: I am supporting an orphan by deducting a monthly amount from my bank account. Does the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 5150Sahih (Al-Albani) apply to me, or is it required that I take him into my home to fulfill the guardianship?
Answer:
Taking him into your home, supervising him, and looking after him is better. However, if you support him while he is not with you, that is a good thing, and you will receive reward for it. Yes.
