Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I found one hundred riyals outside my house next to my car, and I do not know whether this money belongs to me or to someone else, so what should I do with it? Knowing that only I and the workers who clean the street pass by this place.
Answer:
As long as you are in doubt about it, and it is of the ambiguous kind, give it in charity to a needy person, and the reward will be for its owner, whether that is you or someone else, and you will be free from the doubt.
