Lost Items in a Taxi and the Ruling on Lost Property
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Please. Shaykh, I have a taxi. I am the owner of a taxi. I picked up some people, and the day after I dropped them off, I found their belongings: perfume and some other things. I do not know where they went. I looked for them but did not find them.
The Shaykh:
By Allah, if you looked for them and did not find them, give it in charity to the needy, and the reward will be theirs. Yes.
The questioner:
Another question. Does this fall under the ruling of lost property, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Yes, no. If it is money that was lost, it falls under the ruling of lost property, meaning.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah reward you.
