Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person went out to Riyadh, and he had picked up a lost item, a sum of money, which he took from the Haram, and it was in a bag. He says: Is he required to return this sum in the same bag, or does he return the sum without its bag?
Answer:
They should return it with the bag so that it is recognized and sent to the lost and found, because there is an office at the Haram for lost and found items where they hand it over with its bag so that it has a marker. They register it, and if its owner comes to them, he takes it.
