Continuing to support an orphan after he reaches puberty
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man has been supporting an orphan since childhood until he reached puberty, and this man is still in great need of support after reaching puberty. He asks: Is it better for me to continue supporting him, or should I start supporting a young orphan who has not yet reached puberty?
Answer:
If this person has become self-sufficient, leave him and turn to the young one. But if he has not yet become self-sufficient, you continue to be kind to him. This does not prevent you from also taking on another person and being kind to him. The door of kindness is wide, to the extent of your ability. Yes.
