What is the Meaning of Rashīd?
The Qur’anic verse says,
“And test the orphans until they attain puberty; then if you find in them maturity of intellect (RashÄ«d), make over to them their property...”
(Surah an-NisÄ’ 4:6)
The maturity of intellect (RashÄ«d) in this connection means maturity in the financial affairs. This maturity is reflected in the child’s capacity to handle his day to day needs without there being any risk of loss and wasteful expenditure. At this stage it is Wajib to hand over to the orphan his wealth and property.
In other words it is Wajib to restore the wealth and property of an orphan when he attains puberty and maturity of intellect.
