Training of the
orphans
Surah ‘An-Nisaaa’ (Women -4),
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the
Beneficent, the Merciful

6. And test orphans till they reach the
marriageable age; then, if ye find them of sound judgment, deliver over unto
them their fortune; and devour it not by squandering and in haste lest they
should grow up. And whoso (of the guardians) is rich, let him abstain
generously (from taking of the property of orphans); and whoso is poor let
him take thereof in reason (for his guardianship). Then when ye deliver up
their property unto orphans, have (the transaction) witnessed in their
presence. Allah sufficeth as a Reckoner.

Lesson
It has
been ordered in this verse, “Carry on nourishing and educating the orphans, and
testing their sense and comprehension at times till they reach the marriageable
age; then, if you find them of sound judgment, then deliver over their property
and wealth to them. However if you find that they do not have the required
intellect even after reaching the marriageable age, then according to the sect
of Imam Abu Hanifah, you would have to wait till
the age of twenty five years. During this tenure, whenever he/she seems a wise
person, then deliver over the wealth and property to them. Otherwise, hand them
over their wealth and property after reaching the age of twenty-five years in
each condition.
Spending
the wealth of orphans more than necessity is prohibited. Do not finish their
property in haste due to the intimidation that after reaching the marriageable
age, the orphan will get back his/her property. The guardian should not spend
the wealth of orphan for his personal use. However, if the guardian is poor
then he can take some property propitious to his services in the reason for his
guardianship.
Whenever,
father of any child expires then it is important to hand over the wealth of
orphan with its written detail to a guardian before some Muslims. And when the
orphan reaches the marriageable age, then according to that written detail
his/her wealth should be gotten returned and how much has been spent out of it,
its detail should be explained to the orphan.
Moreover,
refund of the property/wealth should be in the presence of the witnesses so
that if any dispute arises in future, then the witnesses may help in its
settlement. Allah Almighty is Protector and Reckoner of every thing, He does
not need any witness or account Himself. It has been determined for the ease of
the people only.
