The ruling on one who finds money on the road from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah

Question:
This questioner says: I found a sum of money on my way from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah. How should I deal with it?

Answer:
Call out for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He who finds lost property should identify it and announce it. He said: I found it in such-and-such a place. Who is the owner of the money? You call out for it many times in Makkah, and you appoint someone to call out for it forever until it is recognized. You do not eat it, ever, and you do not give it to the committee appointed in Makkah, the committee appointed for lost property, or the court, to clear your conscience. You take a document from them and your conscience is cleared; otherwise, leave it in its place. Yes.
Unless it is a small amount, like two or three riyals, or something easy. If you took it and ate it, or gave it in charity, or gave it to some of the poor, it is a trivial matter. It is like what people seek, like twenty riyals or fifty riyals, which has no importance in the eyes of people. Yes.
