An-Nisa 6

وَابْتَلُوا الْيَتَامٰى حَتّٰٓى اِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَۚ فَاِنْ اٰنَسْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُٓوا اِلَيْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْۚ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوهَٓا اِسْرَافًا وَبِدَارًا اَنْ يَكْبَرُواۜ وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ فَق۪يرًا فَلْيَاْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِۜ فَاِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فَاَشْهِدُوا عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ حَس۪يبًا ۝٦

6Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage. If you see maturity/competence in them, return their property to them. Do not hasten to spend their property out of fear that they will grow up and take it back. Whoever is not in need should not stoop to it, and whoever is poor may benefit from it to a reasonable extent. When you return their property to them, hand it over in the presence of witnesses. Allah is sufficient as the One who calls to account.
