The Ruling on Sponsoring an Orphan

Question
What is the ruling on sponsoring a child who has lost both parents and moving them to live in the sponsor's house?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This is from the good deeds and acts of kindness and the pursuit of rewards, but under its legal conditions of not exposing oneself to nakedness; because a woman in the house, if she has not breastfed him and he is under two years old, he is not considered a mahram for her, and it is not permissible for him to see anything from her except for the face and the hands, and so on. And God knows best.
