“And come not near to the orphan’s property, except to improve it.” (6:152)
“And they ask you concerning orphans. Say: `The best thing is to work honestly in their property, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers.

Allah, the Exalted, says:

He who has the knowledge of any matter may convey it to the others. And he who has no knowledge, thereof, should say: “Allahu a`lam (Allah knows better).” It is a part and parcel of knowledge that a man who has no knowledge of a matter should say: “Allah knows better.” Allah said to His Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam):
“Say (O Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam)): `No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur’an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).”’ (38:86)
