Is it permissible for a woman to treat a boy she raised, whom she did not breastfeed, as her son in terms of not veiling from him?

Question:
A woman raised a boy, and he was like her son, except that she did not breastfeed him, and none of her relatives breastfed him either. He is like a son to her. He got married and became like a son to his mother. She is now old and unable to care for herself, and she has no one but him, other than her husband. My question is: What is the ruling on what has passed? And what should she do regarding what is to come?

Answer:
As for her raising him and being kind to him, that is a good thing and she will receive reward for it. As for veiling, she must veil from him, as he is a non-mahram to her from whom she must veil. The fact that he is kind to her and repays her kindness is a good thing on his part, but he is not a mahram to her; he is not a mahram to her. Therefore, she must veil from him, she must not travel with him, and he must not be alone with her in a place where no one else is present, because he is a non-mahram. She should treat him as a non-mahram. Yes.
