Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does the sponsorship of orphans carried out through some charitable organizations, whether within this country or outside it, count as the Sharia-compliant sponsorship of orphans that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged?
Answer:
If you know that these associations are truthful and that they reach the orphans, the orphans of Muslims, and you know that the funds reach them, yes. Whether you give it directly to the orphans or give it through an agent between you and them, the intermediary between you and them, the criterion is that these associations are people whose members are truthful and trustworthy in delivering these funds to the orphans, yes.
