وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ مَالَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ ۚ وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِٱلْعَهْدِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْـُٔولًۭا ٣٤

Saheeh International

And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

The Command to handle the Orphan's Wealth properly and to be Honest in Weights and Measures Allah says;وَلَا تَقْرَبُواْ مَالَ الْيَتِيمِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُAnd come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength.meaning, do not dispose of the orphan's wealth except in a proper manner.وَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَأ إِسْرَافاً وَبِدَاراً أَن يَكْبَرُواْ وَمَن كَانَ غَنِيّاً فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ وَمَن كَانَ فَقِيراً فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِbut consume it (the orphan's property) not wastefully and hastily fearing that they should grow up, and whoever (among guardians) is rich, he should take no wages, but if he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and reasonable (according to his labor). (4:6)In Sahih Muslim it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah said to Abu Dharr:يَا أَبَا ذَرَ إِنِّي أَرَاكَ ضَعِيفًا وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ لَكَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِي لَاا تَأَمَّرَنَّ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ وَلَاا تَوَلَّيَنَّ مَالَ الْيَتِيمO Abu Dharr, I see that you are weak (in administering), and I like for you that which I like for myself. Do not let yourself be appointed as Amir over two people, and do not let yourself be appointed as guardian of an orphan's property.وَأَوْفُواْ بِالْعَهْدِAnd fulfill (every) covenant.meaning, everything that you promise people, and the covenants that you agree to, because the person who makes a covenant or a promise will be asked about it:إِنَّ الْعَهْدَ كَانَ مَسْوُولاًVerily, the covenant will be questioned about
