إِذَا كَانَ مَوْضُوعاً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَ إِذَا عَمِلْتَ بِهِ فَأَنْتَ لَهُ ضَامِنٌ وَ الرِّبْحُ لِلْيَتِيمِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the assets of the orphans if there is Zakat on it. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it (asset) is not active (not used in business) Zakat is not due on it. If you use it in business, then you are responsible for it and its profit belongs to the orphan.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
