The Ruling on Zakat for Orphans' Wealth

Question
Is there Zakat on the wealth of orphans, and if so, how much is the amount?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: There is no zakat on the wealth of the orphan, who is one who has not reached maturity; because zakat is an act of worship, and worship is not obligatory on the minor, and God knows best.
