And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin.

நீங்கள் அநாதைகளின் பொருட்களை (அவர்களுக்கு வயது வந்தவுடன் குறைவின்றிக்) கொடுத்து விடுங்கள்;. நல்லதற்குப் பதிலாக கெட்டதை மாற்றியும் கொடுத்து விடாதீர்கள். அவர்களுடைய பொருட்களை உங்கள் பொருட்களுடன் சேர்த்துச் சாப்பிட்டு விடாதீர்கள் - நிச்சயமாக இது பெரும் பாவமாகும்.

තවද අනාථයින්ට ඔවුන්ගේ වස්තුව දෙනු. තවද නුඹලා පිවිතුරු දෑ වෙනුවට කිලිටි දෑ හුවමාරු නො කරනු. තවද ඔවුන්ගේ වස්තුව නුඹලාගේ වස්තුව සමඟ එකතු කර කා නො දමනු. සැබැවින් ම එය මහත් වූ පාපයකි.

اور یتیموں کو ان کے مال دے دو اور پاک اور حلال چیز کے بدلے ناپاک اور حرام چیز نہ لو، اور اپنے مالوں کے ساتھ ان کے مال ملا کر کھا نہ جاؤ، بے شک یہ بہت بڑا گناه ہے۔

你们应当把孤儿的财产交还他们,不要以(你们的)恶劣的(财产),换取(他们的)佳美的(财产),也不要把他们的财产并入你们的财产,而加以吞蚀。这确是大罪。

Tafsir of 4:2

Protecting the Property of the Orphans Allah commands that the property of the orphans be surrendered to them in full when they reach the age of adolescence, and He forbids using or confiscating any part of it. So He said; وَلاَ تَتَبَدَّلُواْ الْخَبِيثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ (and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones;) Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib and Az-Zuhri commented, "Do not substitute a weak animal of yours for a fat animal (of the orphans)." Ibrahim An-Nakha`i and Ad-Dahhak commented, "Do not give something of bad quality for something of good quality." As-Suddi said, "One of them (caretakers of orphans) would take a fat sheep from the orphan's property and put in its place, a weak sheep of his, saying, `A sheep for a sheep.'
