Sponsorship of a widow

Sponsoring a widow is one of the great deeds that is considered an accomplished mercy in this world and a reason for entering Paradise. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, likened the one who takes care of the widow to the one who strives in the cause of God, the one who does not let up, and the fasting person who does not break his fast, as stated in the Prophet’s hadith.
