Zakat on Savings of Orphaned Funds

Question
A mother of orphans saves money for her children from their sponsorships and bought gold for savings, is she required to pay Zakat on it?
Answer
Answer: I say, and with God's success: There is no zakat on the wealth of an 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.
