Al-An’ám 6:152 ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم الا بالتي هي احسن حتى يبلغ اشده واوفوا الكيل والميزان بالقسط لا نكلف نفسا الا وسعها واذا قلتم فاعدلوا ولو كان ذا قربى وبعهد الله اوفوا ذالكم وصاكم به لعلكم تذكرون ١٥٢
وَلَا
تَقۡرَبُواْ
مَالَ
ٱلۡيَتِيمِ
إِلَّا
بِٱلَّتِي
هِيَ
أَحۡسَنُ
حَتَّىٰ
يَبۡلُغَ
أَشُدَّهُۥۚ
وَأَوۡفُواْ
ٱلۡكَيۡلَ
وَٱلۡمِيزَانَ
بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ
لَا
نُكَلِّفُ
نَفۡسًا
إِلَّا
وُسۡعَهَاۖ
وَإِذَا
قُلۡتُمۡ
فَٱعۡدِلُواْ
وَلَوۡ
كَانَ
ذَا
قُرۡبَىٰۖ
وَبِعَهۡدِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَوۡفُواْۚ
ذَٰلِكُمۡ
وَصَّىٰكُم
بِهِۦ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَذَكَّرُونَ
١٥٢
And do not come near the wealth of the orphan—unless intending to enhance it—until they attain maturity. Give full measure and weigh with justice. We never require of any soul more than what it can afford. Whenever you speak,1 maintain justice—even regarding a close relative. And fulfil your covenant with Allah. This is what He has commanded you, so perhaps you will be mindful.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best [i.e., intending improvement] until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you speak [i.e., testify], be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allāh fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember.
