Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, in last Saturday’s lesson that the care of a foundling is not included in the care of an orphan. He asks: Is the care of a foundling included in the hadith
Answer:
Yes, yes, it is included. This is an act of ihsan (excellence in worship), but it is not called the care of an orphan; it is called ihsan (excellence in worship) toward one who has no guardian to take care of him.

Yes, yes, it is included. This is an act of ihsan (excellence in worship), but it is not called the care of an orphan; it is called ihsan (excellence in worship) toward one who has no guardian to take care of him.
