“Ruling on Investing Orphans` Funds in Development Bonds and Treasury Bills“

We have received the following question:
What is the  ruling of Sharia on investing the funds of orphans in development bonds and treasury bills?
Answer: All success is due to Allah.
The Board has decided that it is forbidden because it is a usury-based loan, and has attached the answer of Mr. Mostafa Az-zarqa in this regard. And Allah Knows Best.

Making up missed voluntary acts of worship is from Sunnah.

Should a person feel pleased, or have a virtuous vision after offering Istikhara (guidance prayer) in order to do what he/she had offered it for?

The result of the Istikhaarah is not necessarily that a person sees something (in his dream), or feels pleased, but the most important result of the Istikhaarah is whether a person is enabled to do a given matter or not.
