Bequeathing to take care of an orphan
Q 1: I have assumed the guardianship of an orphan whose father is from among those who migrated to Afghanistan. This was done through the office of Islamic Relief Agency in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. I intended to please my Lord through doing so. I would like to continue performing this duty permanently even after my death. This guardianship should go to another orphan if the first one grows older and is no longer called an orphan. Can I bequeath doing so at the present time in order that an amount of money is deducted from my pension as I am a public servant? I would like to know the way of keeping it permanently after my death and how to bequeath that.
A: It is recommended for you to bequeath taking care for an orphan after your death within one third of your property. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
