Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الزكاةBook: On the Explanation of Zakat
بَابُ زَكَاةِ أَمْوَالِ الْيَتَامَى وَالتِّجَارَةِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا
Zakat on orphans' wealth and trading for them
Hadith 662
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، قَالَ : " اتَّجِرُوا فِي أَمْوَالِ الْيَتَامَى لَا تَأْكُلُهَا الزَّكَاةُ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Trade with the wealth of the orphans so that zakat does not consume it all.
Hadith 663
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ " تَلِينِي وَأَخًا لِي يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي حَجْرِهَا فَكَانَتْ تُخْرِجُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا الزَّكَاةَ "
It is narrated from Qasim bin Muhammad that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to raise me and my brother; both of us were orphans in her care, so she used to take out zakat from our wealth.
Hadith 664
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَتْ تُعْطِي أَمْوَالَ الْيَتَامَى الَّذِينَ فِي حَجْرِهَا مَنْ يَتَّجِرُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to give the wealth of orphans to a trader so that he could trade with it.
Hadith 665
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، " أَنَّهُ اشْتَرَى لِبَنِي أَخِيهِ يَتَامَى فِي حِجْرِهِ مَالًا فَبِيعَ ذَلِكَ الْمَالُ بَعْدُ بِمَالٍ كَثِيرٍ "
It is narrated from Yahya bin Saeed that he bought some property for the orphan boys of his brother, then that property was sold at a high price.
Hadith 665B
قَالَ مَالِك : لَا بَأْسَ بِالتِّجَارَةِ فِي أَمْوَالِ الْيَتَامَى لَهُمْ إِذَا كَانَ الْوَلِيُّ مَأْمُونًا فَلَا أَرَى عَلَيْهِ ضَمَانًا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: There is nothing wrong with trading with the wealth of an orphan when the guardian of the orphan is trustworthy and honest, and he will not be held liable if there is a loss.
