Hadith 13

(The book) ‘Fiq Al-Reza-asws’ – It is reported from the Scholar (Imam-asws) having said: ‘One who eats (even) one Dirham from the wealth of an orphan unjustly, from without right, Allah-azwj will Make his eternity to be in the Fire’’. [14]
It is reported: ‘Devouring the wealth of an orphan is from the major sins which Allah-azwj has Promised the Fire upon it. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying of a speaker: (As for) those who are devouring the wealth of the orphans unjustly, but rather they are swallowing fire into their bellies, and they shall be arriving at the Blazing Fire [4: 10]’’. [15]
And it is reported: ‘One who trades with the wealth of an orphan, so he makes a profit, it would be for the orphan and the losses would be upon the trader; and the one who transfers the wealth of an orphan or lends something from it, he would be responsible for entirety of it, and upon him would be its Zakat, besides (not upon) the orphan’’. [16]
And it is reported: ‘Beware of the wealth of an orphan! Neither be exposed to it nor wear with it. The one who exposes to the wealth of an orphan, so he eats something from it, so rather he has eaten an ember from the fire’’. [17]
And it is reported: ‘Fear Allah-azwj, and not one of you should be exposed to the wealth of an orphan, for Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Praise, would be in Charge of his Reckoning Himself‑azwj, whether he is Forgiven for or Punished, and the end of the limit of the orphan (orphanhood) is the puberty’’. [18]
And it is reported from the Scholar-asws: ‘There is no orphan-hood after the puberty. When he attains puberty, he should be tested regarding the affairs during the young age, and the middle age, and the old age. If rightful guidance is sensed from him, his wealth should be handed to him, or else he should be (left upon his state until the rightful guidance is sensed from him’’. [19]
And it is reported: ‘The least of the tribe, and it is their jurists and their scholars, is that he should dispose (utilise) regarding his wealth in what he sees an error or correction, and neither would there be any loss upon him nor any profit for him, and the profit and the loss would be for the orphan and against him, and with Allah-azwj is the inclination’’.
