The questioner is congratulated for sponsoring an orphan. If it is necessary to conceal the sponsorship while avoiding falsehood, an allusive answer can be used. If one is unable to pay the sponsorship for a month or two due to financial hardship, there is no blame upon him, and he will be rewarded for his intention. Sponsoring an orphan is not obligatory, but it is highly encouraged, and its reward is immense.
