The ruling on one who finds a sum of money at the airport
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I found a large sum of money at the airport, so what should I do with it now?
Answer:
Pray in the airport, and as long as you are not fulfilling the requirement of knowing it and knowing its identifying marks until you find its owner for a full year, then leave it at the airport, or if there is a department in the airport responsible for lost items, hand it over to them. But now that you have taken it, you are required to know its distinguishing marks and to announce it for a period of one year. Yes.
