Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, go ahead with your question, my brother. Sunnah. Frankly, Shaykh, I have a question. One of the brothers was reading to you, Khalid Taxi. We picked up one of the passengers and heard the amount of money. What did the house do? May Allah reward you. He says: This, O Shaykh, is a man who works as a taxi driver at King Khalid Airport. He toils, and one of the passengers left an amount of money in the taxi. So what does the taxi driver do with this money?
Answer:
If the time is recent, he should announce that someone has lost something. If no one comes forward, he should give this money in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to the owner. Yes.
