According to the explicit warning in Surah An-Nisa, verse 10, the act of unjustly devouring the property of orphans is one of Islam's gravest sins, met with a severe and fitting punishment. Classical Islamic scholarship, including the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, interprets this verse to mean that those who commit this injustice are, in reality, consuming fire that will kindle in their bellies on the Day of Resurrection before they are cast into a blazing Hell. This is not merely a metaphor; scholars emphasize the literal nature of this torment as a form of divine justice that mirrors the crime. Al-Qurtubi and other jurists have detailed the legal and ethical framework for guardianship to prevent such a transgression. The verse establishes a profound theological principle: Allah is the ultimate defender of the weak, and the violation of an orphan's trust is a direct challenge that incurs a specific, dual torment in the Hereafter.
