Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person finds money and announces it for a year, and its owner does not come, and he takes it, does he have to pay zakah on it if it reaches the nisab?
Answer:
Yes, if he has acquired it and taken possession of it, it becomes his property, and zakah becomes obligatory on it if it reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it.
