The seclusion of the finder’s wife from the foundling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for the foundling, once he has grown up, not to observe seclusion from the woman who found him? Is it permissible for the foundling, once he has grown up, not to observe seclusion from the woman who found him?

Answer:
She must observe seclusion from him, because the act of finding him does not make him a relative of the finder. The finder is merely a benefactor in having taken him in; otherwise, he is a non-relative. Yes.
