Sponsoring an orphan is one of the greatest deeds that Allah (SWT) and His messenger emphasized. Immense rewards have been guaranteed for those who sponsor orphan children in need.
Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Myself and the caretaker of an orphan will be in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together. (Sahih al-Bukhari)
