The orphan’s money should be protected and it is desirable that the trustees invest the money for the benefit of the orphan, (And do not come near the wealth of the orphan—unless intending to enhance it—until they attain maturity.) Al-An’am 6: 152
- One must protect the orphan’s money, and the orphan must be prevented from spending it, for his own interest and that of his family, until the orphan reaches the age of sound judgment.
(Do not entrust the incapable ˹among your dependants˺ with your wealth which Allah has made a means of support for you—but feed and clothe them from it, and speak to them kindly. Test ˹the competence of˺ the orphans until they reach a marriageable age. Then if you feel they are capable of sound judgment, return their wealth to them. And do not consume it wastefully and hastily before they grow up ˹to demand it˺. If the guardian is well-off, they should not take compensation; but if the guardian is poor, let them take a reasonable provision. When you give orphans back their property, call in witnesses. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.)
– Taking care of his interests, by shoving off anything harmful, and obtaining what is good for them, and fulfilling his needs.
- (And they ask you ˹O Prophet˺ concerning orphans. Say, “Improving their condition is best. And if you partner with them, they are bonded with you ˹in faith˺And Allah knows who intends harm and who intends good) Al-Baqara 2: 220
يجب حفظ مال اليتيم من الضياع كما يستحب الإتجار به لمصلحة اليتيم، لقوله تعالى:( ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم إلا بالتي هي أحسن حتى يبلغ أشده)
تجب الوصاية على مال اليتيم، و يجب منعه في التصرف به بما يحقق المصلحة والخير له ولأهله، حتى يبلغ اليتيم سن الرشد، قال الله تعالى
وَلَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَاءَ أَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَامًا وَارْزُقُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَاكْسُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
وابتلوا اليتامى حتى إذا بلغوا النكاح فإن آنستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا إليهم أموالهم ولا تأكلوها إسرافا وبدارا أن يكبروا ومن كان غنيا فليستعفف، ومن كان فقيرا فليأكل بالمعروف فإذا دفعتم اليهم أموالهم فاشهدوا عليهم وكفى بالله حسيبا) النساء 4 :6
القيام على مصالحه بدفع الشرور عنه و جلب المصالح و قضاء الحاجات. قال الله تعالى: ( ويسألونك عن اليتامى قل إصلاح لهم خير وإن تخالطوهم فاخوانكم والله يعلم المفسد من المصلح) البقرة 2:220
