An orphan boy


A: The guardian of an orphan should be kind to him, raise him well and not hurt him. If the orphan has money, the guardian should keep it for him and invest it in useful ways. When the orphan grows up and comes of age, the guardian should give him the money. The guardian will be rewarded for this by Allah (Exalted be He), as He says, Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, I and the one who looks after the orphan are like this in Jannah (Paradise). Narrated by Muslim . (Part No. 14; Page No. 240) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
