So, when you hand their property over to them, make witnesses upon them. Allah is sufficient for reckoning |
| Mustafa Khattab God Edition Test ˹the competence of˺ the orphans until they reach a marriageable age. Then if you feel they are capable of sound judgment, return their wealth to them.

And sufficient is God as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner |
