Q: As you know, the charitable foundation of Makkah Al-Mukarramah is involved in the project of assuming the guardianship of Muslim orphans outside the Kingdom and handles the organizational and financial supervision of this program. Among its interests is contacting benefactors and wealthy people to convince them to take on the guardianship of some orphans. The value of a custody bill is one hundred Riyal per month but some of them apologize and say that the orphans of the Kingdom have a higher priority than those outside the Kingdom and afterwards they do not take custody of the local orphans but only prevent others from taking custody. It is worth mentioning that the foundation is taking care of the orphans inside the Kingdom. Is this excuse acceptable to abandon Muslim orphans from abroad who are troubled by poverty and ignorance? Could your Eminence give some advice - May Allah support you - to those rich people and could you explain the virtue of taking care of orphans as well as running their finances and raising them?
