A woman who found a foundling is not required to observe hijab from him when he grows up

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a foundling, when he grows up, for the woman who found him not to observe hijab from him?

Answer:
Why? She must observe hijab from him; because he is a non-mahram. Picking him up does not make him a relative of the one who picked him up. The one who picked him up is only a benefactor in his upbringing; otherwise, he is a non-mahram.
