Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh
In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving
All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “He who takes care of an orphan, whether he is his relative or a stranger, will be in Jannah with me like these two”; the narrator, Malik ibn Anas raised his forefinger and middle finger.
He also said, “There is a reward for serving any animate [living being].” The generality of these prophetic statements signifies their extension to all human beings, regardless of religion.
Therefore, a Muslim may take care of non-Muslim orphans; but he should have the intention of inviting them to Islam.
Almighty Allah knows best
