Is it permissible to allocate a portion of the inheritance for sponsoring orphans with the consent of all heirs?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to donate from a minor's money for the sponsorship of orphans unless the minor reaches maturity and discretion. Only adult and discerning heirs are permitted to donate a portion of their share for this purpose. Whoever donates anything from a minor's money must pay it from their own private funds, because the guardian's disposition of a minor's money is forbidden unless it is for the benefit of the ward.
