Does one give to the orphan what one gives to one's own child?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He is equal to his child in food.
Answer:
No, he gives to him from his own wealth. He combines his own wealth with the orphan's wealth. He gives the orphan from the orphan's wealth, he provides for him from his own wealth, and he feeds him from his own wealth. If he gives him something from his own wealth, may Allah reward him with good, but it is not obligatory. However, in terms of conduct, he disciplines him just as he disciplines his own child. If he makes a mistake, he disciplines the orphan just as he disciplines his own child. He does not let him harm people, annoy people, or transgress against people, or let him be late for prayer when he has reached ten years of age. Did you understand? As for the money, no, he does not give him his money. He spends on him from his own money and the orphan's money. Did you understand? Yes, yes.
