Rights of Orphans in Islam

"Orphans have their own special privileges in Islam. Therefore, they have their rights as orphans as follows:"

1. Treated well

Orphaned children have the right to be treated well. In fact, Allah SWT prohibits acting arbitrarily towards orphaned children. Such treatment includes protection, affection, and comfort.

2. Food Sufficiency and Needs

Sufficient for the needs of orphans is a very noble thing. Whether it is sufficient in terms of food or their needs. This is an act that is highly recommended in Islam. As the Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever feeds and gives drink to an individual orphan among the Muslim community, then Allah will admit him to Paradise, except if he commits a sin that is unforgivable."

3. Education

The right of an orphan is to receive education, just like any other child. In addition, Islam itself has commanded the Muslim community, both men and women, to seek knowledge. The Prophet Muhammad also once said that those who take care of orphans will attain a high position in heaven in the future.

4. Treasure

Orphaned children have the right to the property they own. That is why Islam strongly prohibits anyone from taking or using the property of orphaned children without permission or without clear reasons. In the Quran, it has been explained that the property of orphaned children can only be used for beneficial purposes for themselves.
