Is the monthly sponsorship of an orphan through a charitable organization, where the sponsor pays 200 Saudi Riyals monthly to the child's mother without any other responsibilities, considered the sponsorship that the Prophet (peace be upon him) promised in his saying: "I and the sponsor of an orphan will be in Paradise together like this," and he gestured with his index and middle fingers?
Sponsoring an orphan is one of the greatest acts of righteousness and a means of entering Paradise. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, promised the sponsor of an orphan his companionship in Paradise. Spending on an orphan is a type of sponsorship, but complete sponsorship involves taking care of their affairs, looking after their religious and worldly interests, raising them, and being kind to them until their orphanhood ends. This includes upbringing, guidance, and education, in addition to food, drink, and housing. The highest form of orphan sponsorship is when the orphan is taken in with the sponsor's own children, raised as they are raised, and provided for as they are provided for.
