Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A needy orphan found a lost item on a public road and he cannot identify it,
The Shaykh:
And what else?
The questioner:
and it is unlikely that its owner will come.
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He says: A needy orphan found a lost item on a fast public road and he cannot identify it. May he take it as charity for its owner?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not take it. He takes it to identify it, or else he leaves it where it is and does not take it. Yes, may Allah make him independent of it.
