Question:
He says: My teacher took a trip in the car, and among the passengers was a trip in the car to carry out the repair of the boat, so I went to my neighborhood to give it to them, but I did not find anyone. What is the ruling on these matters? What should I do?
Answer:
If you searched for its owner and made every effort to find him but did not succeed, then you should give it in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to its owner.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
