Misappropriating an orphan's wealth for purposes other than their benefit is an act of betrayal and deceit. One must repent and restore the right to its owners. If you are a guardian of orphans and are in need, it is permissible for you to partake from their wealth in a reasonable manner as compensation for your work, as Allah Almighty says: "And whoever is poor, let him partake thereof in a reasonable manner."
