سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ زَكَاةٌ وَ إِنْ بَلَغَ الْيَتِيمُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ لِمَا مَضَى زَكَاةٌ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا بَقِيَ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ مَا عَلَى غَيْرِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ .
Translation
Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘There is no <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon the wealth of the orphans, and even if the orphan reaches adulthood, there would be nothing upon him, due to the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> of the past, and there would be nothing upon him regarding what remains until he becomes aware (adult). So when he does become aware (adult). So rather there would be one (year’s) <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon him. Then, upon him, would be similar to what is upon others from the people’.
