Is mixing orphans' money with their mother's money, or spending it on their entertainment and social courtesies, considered a squandering of the trust?

If the children are minors, their money may not be managed except by their guardian, who is encouraged to grow it. He must spend on them from their money in a reasonable manner (food, clothing, housing, medical treatment, education). There is no harm in spending generously on them during occasions to bring joy to their hearts.

The guardian must manage each orphan's share in a way that is most beneficial to them. If there is a significant disparity in their needs, then each one's share must be distinguished and spent from accordingly. However, if their expenses are similar, there is no harm in spending on them from the money before distinguishing individual shares. It is recommended to divide the inheritance according to Islamic law to preserve rights.

It is permissible for the guardian to mix his money with the orphans' money if it does not harm them and is for the purpose of betterment. However, he is not permitted to give gifts or favors to others from their money.

The money must be deposited in Islamic banks that adhere to Sharia regulations. It is not permissible to deposit it in interest-based (riba) banks, and it must be withdrawn from them. If any usurious (riba) interest has accrued, it must be disposed of by spending it on charitable causes.
