The guardian or trustee is responsible for the on an orphan's money. If the aforementioned council is entrusted with the guardianship of orphans' money by the ruler, then it is responsible for its zakat. If it has already paid the zakat, there is no issue. But if it has not paid it throughout the period of guardianship, then it must pay the zakat for that period. As for profits resulting from usurious interest, zakat is not obligatory on them, and the orphans must dispose of them upon reaching maturity.
