Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence, father, some government entities transferred a sum of money to me, and I am unable to return it to them because I do not know their account. What should I do with this amount that reached my account?

Answer:
If you do not know its owner and cannot reach him, give it in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to the owner. Yes.
