Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says that he will not be harmed.

Hazrat Dahhak (may Allah have mercy on him), in the commentary of the verse { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ } of the Holy Qur'an, states that if the father passes away and leaves behind a small child, then if the father has wealth, the child's milk will be arranged from his wealth, and if there is no wealth, then this responsibility will fall upon the agnates.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that once some people brought an orphan child to Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and requested that arrangements be made for his maintenance. He replied that even if I find his distant relatives, I will make his maintenance obligatory upon them.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Utbah said to the guardian of an orphan, "If he did not have wealth, I would have made it obligatory upon you to provide for him, because Allah Almighty says { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ }"

Hazrat Dahhak (may Allah have mercy on him), in the commentary of the verse { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ } of the Holy Qur'an, states that it means the maintenance of the child is obligatory upon the father; if he is not present, then it is obligatory upon the male relatives, and if they are also not present, then the mother will be ordered to breastfeed. If the child does not drink milk from anyone other than the mother, then she will be compelled to breastfeed the child.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), in the explanation of the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ }, says that it is obligatory upon the heir that he should not cause any harm to it.

Hazrat Dhahhak, in the commentary of the verse { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ } of the Holy Qur'an, says that it is obligatory upon the heir not to let it suffer any loss.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) arranged for the milk of a child whose father had passed away and who had no wealth left, to be provided by his paternal cousins.

Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), in the commentary of the verse { وَعَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ } of the Holy Qur'an, states that the provision of milk for the child is the responsibility of the man, not the woman.

Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked that the mother of this child is wealthy while the uncle is poor; upon whom will the responsibility of arranging milk fall? He replied that the maintenance is obligatory upon the uncle.
