4:6
وَابْتَلُوا
الْيَتَامَى
حَتَّى
إِذَا
بَلَغُوا
النِّكَاحَ
فَإِنْ
آنَسْتُم
مِّنْهُمْ
رُشْدًا
فَادْفَعُوا
إِلَيْهِمْ
أَمْوَالَهُمْ
وَلَا
تَأْكُلُوهَا
إِسْرَافًا
وَبِدَارًا
أَن
يَكْبَرُوا
وَمَن
كَانَ
غَنِيًّا
فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ
وَمَن
كَانَ
فَقِيرًا
فَلْيَأْكُلْ
بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
فَإِذَا
دَفَعْتُمْ
إِلَيْهِمْ
أَمْوَالَهُمْ
فَأَشْهِدُوا
عَلَيْهِمْ
وَكَفَى
بِاللَّهِ
حَسِيبًا

Before returning orphan's property to them, make sure that they have reached maturity. Do not consume their property wastefully until such a time. The rich (guardian) should not take any of his ward's property. However, a poor (guardian) may use a reasonable portion. When you return their property, make sure you have witness. God is a perfect in taking accounts.
