May Allah reward you.[Ad-Duhaa 93:9] He also asks his other question: Is disciplining an orphan considered a form of injustice against him?
Answer:
This is coercion; disciplining him is in his best interest. However, the discipline should be moderate, such that it does not cause the child pain, but rather is moderate to the extent that the intended purpose is achieved. Yes.
