The Duration of Announcing a Found Item
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I found an amount of one hundred riyals, so I kept it and announced it for four months, but no one came forward for it. What should I do with this amount?
Answer:
The Sunnah is binding. You must announce it for a year, describing its distinguishing marks, for a year. If its owner comes, it is his; otherwise, it is yours. As for announcing it for some months, that is not sufficient.
