Q 2: Is it permissible that I lend a needy person some money for a good purpose out of the property of an orphan for a specific period of time. Is doing so included in the noble Ayah (Qur'anic verse): And come not near to the orphan’s property, except to improve it Could you please give me a detailed answer regarding this issue?

A: It is not permissible that you lend a needy person an amount of money from the property of the orphan as this does not increase it. Rather, doing so exposes the orphan's money to danger. However, loans that do not entail Riba (usury/interest) and do not expose the property to danger like the Salam sale (sale with advance payment) and sales on credit with some increase in the value are permissible. The foregoing loans are desired because they enhance the orphan's money and they are included in the Ayah: And come not near to the orphan’s property, except to improve it (Part No. 14; Page No. 247)
