test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage and then if you find them mature of mind hand over to them their property and do not eat it up by either spending extravagantly or in haste fearing that they would grow up . if the guardian of the orphan is rich let him abstain entirely and if he is poor let him partake of it in a fair measure. when you hand over their property to them let there be witnesses on their behalf. allah is sufficient to take account .
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 إليهم أموالهم فأشهدوا عليهم وكفى بالله حسيبا
