Taking Care of the Orphan Children of the Mujahidin
Question :
What is the reward for providing for an orphan? What about the orphans of the Mujahidin in Afghanistan? Is there a reward for taking care of them?
Answer:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"I and the sponsor of the orphan will be in paradise like these two."
He then indicated with his index and middle finger. To sponsor in this case means raising the orphan, training him, educating him, and doing whatever benefits and betters him. And yes, the orphan children in Afghanistan are included in this as are other orphan children.
