Taking money on behalf of another so that he may identify it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I find money, or if I leave it as a deposit, and I know from my own experience that I cannot manage to identify it for a year, is it permissible for me to take it and give it to someone who has authority over me so that he may identify it?
Answer:
No. As for you performing the work yourself, that is one thing; but do not leave it for another person to come and take it, nor should you take it and give it to someone who knows it. Yes.
