Disposing of Lost Money in the School
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In our school, some students bring in money that has been lost by their classmates. I collect it, and when a student comes asking about what I gave him from this money, at the end of the year I collect the remaining money and give it in charity with the intention that it is on behalf of its owners. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
No, you have no authority to do this. The school principal is the one who has the authority to dispose of this lost money.
