The reward for taking care of an orphan during the two days of the break

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My daughter passed away and left behind a child. During the school term, for five days, this child stays with his father’s family. As for the break,

The Shaykh:
Male. Yes. A son. Ha.

The questioner:
He says he left behind a son.

The Shaykh:
“Child” includes both male and female, but the apparent meaning of his words is that it is a male, yes.

The questioner:
During the school term.

The Shaykh:
The obligatory [school term]. He says he left behind a son, yes.

The questioner:
He says that during the school term, he stays with his father’s family for five days, and as for the other two days, he stays with me. His question is: Does his staying with me on these two days make me like one who takes care of an orphan, and do I receive the reward for that?

The Shaykh:
To the extent that you take care of him, you receive the reward to the extent of the days you take care of him. Yes.
