We have to accept the rulings of sharee'ah and put them into practice even if it goes against our emotions and feelings. Since there is no relationship of mahram, either by blood or by radaa'ah (breastfeeding)(see Question #5538) between you and the person who sponsored you and brought you up, you have to observe hijaab in front of this person. (For the conditions of hijaab according to sharee'ah, see Question #6991). The evidence that this generous person who sponsored you has mentioned is not correct and is contrary to sharee'ah. The good deeds that he has done will be rewarded by Allaah if he was sincere.
