The Ruling on a Sheep Found on the Road

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A shepherd found a sheep on the road. He says: It is most likely that it fell from one of the passing cars. He says: What should he do with it?

Answer:
If he can, he should keep it safe for its owner. He takes it and presents it to its owner. If he sees signs that it fell from a car and he hopes to deliver it to its owner, then he is doing a good deed. He takes it and delivers it to its owner. If he is not doing this, he leaves it. He leaves it; Allah has not burdened him with it. Yes, because this is not his merchandise. On the road, he fears for it from being slaughtered. This is on the road, on a road, meaning there is no danger to it. Yes. Perhaps its owner will lose it and come back for it. Yes.
