Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A pilgrim left some money a year ago, and I do not know where he is. Should I give the money as charity on his behalf?

Answer:
If you searched for him and did not find him, and it became difficult to know his location or identify him, give it as charity to those in need. Yes.
