Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. If you find something in the street worth about five riyals, do you take it, or leave it, or take it and announce it, or take it and give its value in charity? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If it is worth five riyals, this is a point: you take it on the condition that you announce it for a year. If its owner comes, [you return it]; otherwise, you have the choice. If you wish, you spend it, and if you wish, you give it in charity. Yes.
