[Machine] About the close relatives who are mentioned in the Qur'an, and about the killing of the children of the polytheists, was the Prophet ﷺ killing them? And about the completion of the orphan's term of guardianship, and about the witness of the servant and the woman in a case of harm, he said: "If it were not for me diverting them from evil, I fear that they might fall into it which I have written to him." So he wrote about the close relatives: "We used to consider the relatives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as being our relatives, but our people refuse to acknowledge it." As for the orphan, when he reaches the age of marriage and gains some understanding, his wealth is given to him, so his term of guardianship is complete. As for the boys, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not kill the children of the polytheists, and you should not kill them unless you know the same as Al-Khidr knew from the boy when he killed him. And regarding the servant and the woman, do they have a share when they witness harm? So he wrote to him that they do not have a known share unless they participate from the spoils of war.
