וששאלתם על אפוטרופוס שמינהו אבי יתומים וכו' ר"ח ורבינו האלפס ע"ה בפרק הניזקין פסקו כאבא שאול. וכן הוא דמינהו אבי יתומים לא ישבע כיון דמסלקינן ליה משביעין ליה נמי.
Q. Is a trustee of orphans, appointed to his trusteeship by their father, required to take an oath [to the effect that he did not retain anything belonging to the orphans and that he did not willfully damage their interests]? A. A trustee appointed by the father of the orphans is not required to take an oath. However, some authorities (Ittur) believe that when such a trustee has been removed by court, because of witnesses testifying to his mismanagement of the affairs of the orphans, he is required to take an oath.
