Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a question that has been asked repeatedly. He says: Sometimes I lose my shoe at the mosque, and after the people leave, the only shoe remaining is one that looks exactly like mine, and the person who took my shoe made a mistake.
Answer:
If he finds another person's shoe in the place of his own, it is a lost item, and it carries the rulings of a lost item. He should not take it in place of his own shoe.
