The ruling on giving a mother’s children’s inheritance to someone to trade with on their behalf

Question:
The questioner, Naif’s mother from Ha’il, sent this question written in her own style. She mentions that she is a woman whose husband has passed away. She says she has five children: three who have not reached puberty, the eldest who is twenty-five years old and has not been employed, and the second who is eighteen years old. She says their father left them a sum of money, and this wife gave the money to an older brother of hers to sell and buy with this amount for them. She says: “Know that I gave it to this maternal uncle out of fear that it would be lost, because they are ignorant, and out of concern for them. Is there any sin on me for that?”

Answer:
You have a reward for this, because this is a righteous deed. If you gave it to their maternal uncle, and he is a trustworthy man who manages it and trades with it until it grows, this is a praiseworthy deed, and you are rewarded. Because keeping it with you without managing it may expose it to being exhausted. But once it is in the hands of their maternal uncle or another trustworthy person who works with it and trades with it, this is a good deed, and you are rewarded for this. Yes.
