I found a wallet containing one hundred riyals; is it obligatory for me to announce it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I found a wallet containing one hundred riyals. Is it obligatory for me to announce it?

Answer:
Yes, this has a sign, which is that it is in a wallet. So you take the description of the wallet and its characteristics and record them, then you announce it, asking if anyone has lost something. If he comes and describes it with the characteristics you recorded, you give it to him. You announce it for a period of one year. Yes.
