Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What students find in the school, such as a riyal or two that have fallen, is it permissible for him to take it and benefit from it, or is he required to hand it over to the school administration?
Answer:
If it has value and, I mean, benefit, he hands it over to the school administration, or he marks it so that its owner can find it. But if it is of no value, something trivial and insignificant, he does not take it, and there is no need to. Yes.
