Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a friend who has passed away, and he left behind two young children. If I allocate a specific amount for them each year, does that mean I have taken them under my guardianship, and does the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the guardianship of an orphan apply to me?
Answer:
If what you have allocated for them is sufficient for them for the entire year, then you have taken them under your guardianship. If it is sufficient for only part of the year, you will receive reward according to the extent of your guardianship.
