Guardianship and Well-Wishing for the Orphan:
Among the social evils, Allah Almighty first drew attention to the rights of orphans. Raising an orphan is a great virtue. Thus, the Prophet ﷺ said: "I and the guardian of an orphan will be in Paradise like this." Then he indicated by slightly separating his index and middle fingers.
[بخاری۔ کتاب الادب۔ باب فضل من یعول یتیما]
However, in Arabia, the rights of orphans were being violated in various ways. The violations of these rights are mentioned here in order. For example, when things were entrusted to a guardian, at the time of returning them, he would try to substitute an old and inferior item in place of a good one just to fulfill the formality. Another situation was that food and drink items would be mixed together, in which an attempt was made to reduce the orphan's share and keep one's own benefit in view. Both of these actions are prohibited, and a fundamental principle has been stated: in whatever way you consume the wealth of an orphan, it is, in any case, a great sin. It should be noted that previously it was commanded not to mix the orphan's food and drink items with your own. In this way, sometimes the orphan would suffer a loss, for example, if more food was cooked or he could not eat as much as was prepared. Therefore, permission was given to mix such food and drink items, but with the caution that the orphan should not be harmed in any way.
