Is it permissible to take a loan from the Orphans' Fund Development Foundation in Jordan?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The orphan's money must be managed in a way that is most beneficial and advantageous to them, in accordance with Allah's saying: "And do not approach the orphan’s property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity." The guardian is permitted to manage the orphan's money in a way that preserves or increases it. Therefore, it is not permissible to lend or borrow the orphan's money unless there is a permissible benefit and advantage for the orphan, and this is the most preponderant opinion.
