175301 7 – (…) It was narrated from 'Aishah concerning the Verse in which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls…"111 – that she said: "This was revealed concerning the man who has an orphan girl (in his care), and he is her guardian and her heir, and she has wealth but she does not have anyone to contend on her behalf. He does not want to arrange her marriage (to someone else) because of her wealth, so he harms her and mistreats her, so He said: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice.. [21 meaning: Those whom I have made permissible for you, and leave alone this one whom you are harming."
