The ruling on taking a lost gold chain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The sister Umm Sutam from al-Ahsa says: I found a gold chain at one of the stations on the road to Dammam, and there was no one in the mosque, so I took it. What should I do with it? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
You should return to the place where you took it and put up an announcement about it. If its owner comes to you, give it to him. Yes.
The questioner:
And if he does not come.
The Shaykh:
And if he does not come, you should give it in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to its owner. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
