Preserving the Orphan's Wealth or Investing It

Question:
She asks: Is it better to keep the orphan's wealth as is, or to invest this wealth and expose it to profit and loss?

Answer:
It is better to invest it; it is better to invest it. Do not leave it idle, because if you leave it idle, the zakah will diminish it; you pay zakah on it every year, and that diminishes it. So if you invest it in trade, the profits you earn will compensate for the loss caused by the zakah. This leads to the growth of the wealth. For this reason, there are reports (athar) encouraging the growth of the wealth of orphans and the incapacitated so that the zakah does not consume it. Yes. This is also something that must be pointed out: when the guardian of an orphan or an incapacitated person takes charge of his wealth, it is obligatory for him to pay the zakah from that wealth, from the wealth of the orphan or the incapacitated person, on his behalf. Because this is a right that is obligatory in the wealth, and in their wealth is a known right for the beggar and the one in need. Yes.
