الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:220)
فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۗ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَىٰ ۖ قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَإِن تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
( سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:220) )

Translation: ... And they ask you concerning the orphans Say: " The best thing is to manage honestly their property, and if you mix your affairs with theirs (if you shared them their meals and other affairs), then they are your brothers. And Allah. knows him who means mischief (to swallow their property) from him who means good (to save their property). And if Allah had wished, He could have put you into difficulties. Truly, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise * " S: 2-220. And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الأَنۡعَامِ (6:152)
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ ۖ وَأَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۖ وَبِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْفُوا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
( سُورَةُ الأَنۡعَامِ (6:152) )

Translation: " And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but what he can bear. And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the Covenant of Allah, This He commands you, that you may remember * " S: 6-152.

Translation: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Translation: 904. Narrated Abu-Huraira; The Prophet said: " Avoid the seven great destructive sins. " The people enquired; ' O Allah's Messenger! What are they? ' The Prophet said: To join others in worship along with Allah, to practise sorcery, to kill the life that Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, (according to Islamic law), to eat up usury, to eat up the orphan's wealth, to show one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting, and to accuse the chaste women, who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers.
