The Ruling on the Obligation of Zakah in the Property of an Orphan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is zakah obligatory in the property of an orphan?

Answer:
As you heard, yes, it is obligatory in the property of an orphan and in the property of a person of unsound mind, because it is attached to the wealth. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
within whose wealth is a known right (25) For the petitioner and the deprived -فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
[Al-Ma'arij 70:24-25]
, this is general.
