Chapter on the Cessation of an Orphan's Orphanhood
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْيَتِيمَةِ مَتَى يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا مَالُهَا قَالَ "إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا لاَ تُفْسِدُ وَ لاَ تُضَيِّعُ" فَسَأَلْتُهُ إِنْ كَانَتْ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَتْ فَقَالَ "إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ فَقَدِ اِنْقَطَعَ مُلْكُ اَلْوَصِيِّ عَنْهَا".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from 'Is ibn Al-Qasim from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about an orphan girl - when should her wealth be handed over to her? Imam عليه السلام said: "When you know that she will neither corrupt it nor waste it." I then asked Imam عليه السلام: "What if she has gotten married?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Once she marries, the authority of the guardian over her ends."
