Taking books thrown in places of disgrace

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I found books thrown in places of disgrace, so I took them to benefit from them. What is the ruling on that, given that it is highly likely the books are worth no more than one hundred riyals?

Answer:
As long as their owner threw them away and has no desire for them, take them, praise be to Allah. You will be rewarded, if Allah wills, for picking them up and benefiting from them, or for giving them to someone who will benefit from them.
