Disposing of lost property found in the Haram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a Muslim finds something in the Haram, is it better to take it or leave it? And is handing it over to the authorities better than leaving it, for fear that it might fall into the hands of a thief?

Answer:
Yes. If you see lost or missing money in the Haram, you either take it and undertake the search for its owner yourself, or you take it and hand it over to those responsible for lost items in the Haram. Do not leave it so that someone who does not fulfill the obligation takes it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
