In Islam, caring for orphans is among the most noble deeds. Beyond providing food, shelter, and education, Islam recognizes marrying an orphan girl as a profound act of compassion and dignity—provided it is based on mutual consent and respect.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this” (Sahih Bukhari), showing two fingers side by side. This highlights how Islam integrates orphan care into everyday life, including in family formation through marriage.
💍 Why Marrying an Orphan Girl Is Rewarded in Islam
Orphan girls often lack familial protection and social support. By marrying them respectfully, Muslims fulfill a Sunnah and offer:
- Emotional and financial stability
- Dignity and social inclusion
- Protection from exploitation
Importantly, Islam forbids forced or pity-based marriages. The orphan girl’s consent, compatibility, and choice must be prioritized.
