The Ruling on Selling Lost Property

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says: I found a gold necklace in one of the streets in the markets, and I took it and sold it, and I paid off my debt with it. Is that permissible?

Answer:
This is a mistake. You must announce the lost item, or else leave it and do not take it. Yes.
