[Machine] In His saying {And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four...} [An-Nisa 3], regarding the orphans, it is said that they used to marry ten young girls in the times of ignorance and they used to honor the orphans. So, they investigated the matters related to their religion regarding the orphans and they left what they used to marry in the times of ignorance. Allah the Almighty said {And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four...}[An-Nisa 3] and He prohibited them from what they used to marry in the times of ignorance.
