Make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; if then ye find sound judgment in them, release their
property to them; but consume it not wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If the guardian is well-off, Let
him claim no remuneration, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable. When ye release their
property to them, take witnesses in their presence: But all-sufficient is Allah in taking account.
4:7
From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for women, whether the
property be small or large,-a determinate share.
4:8
But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and
speak to them words of kindness and justice.
4:9
Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a

4:10
Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a
Blazing Fire!

4:12
In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after
payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they
