Aslam

Praise be to Allah.

It is not permissible to fulfil the vow from the property

of the orphans. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And come not near to the orphan’s property, except

to improve it”

[al-An’aam 6:152]

If we pay this from the orphan’s property, there is no

benefit to the orphan, rather taking it is counted as stealing. Everyone

who is in charge of orphans’ property has to dispose of it in the manner

which he thinks is in the orphans’ best interests. With regard to that

which is not in their interests, or which serves some interest but there

is some doubt as to whether it is in their best interests, then it is

not permissible to dispose of it in that manner, because of the quotation

mentioned (interpretation of the meaning):

“And come not near to the orphan’s property, except

to improve it”

[al-An’aam 6:152]

So it is not permissible dispose of it, even if they

are her children.
