As for the profit, it only belongs to the orphan when the administrator (mutawalli) disposes of it and does not, at the time, possess what would cover that wealth. Whenever the matter is as we have mentioned, he is liable for the wealth, the profit belongs to the orphan, and the zakat is in the wealth of the orphan, and it is upon the guardian (wali) to take it out from it, if he did not intend by the trade consideration (nazaran) for the orphan. This is the category whose mention we have already presented, and in which we have mentioned many reports. Whenever his intention is consideration (nazaran) for the orphan, it is permissible for him to take from the profit something that will be sufficient provision (bulghah) for him. This is the meaning of the previous report: “And the profit is between them.” And whenever the one who trades with the wealth of the orphan is, at the time, able to provide the like of it, then liability for it is obligatory upon him, its profit belongs to him, and its zakat is upon him. What indicates that is what he narrated (in the next hadith).
