Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque, and one of the congregation found an amount of one hundred riyals inside the mosque. What should I do with this amount?
Answer:
You write an announcement and post it on the outside door of the mosque, stating that anyone who lost something in the mosque should contact the imam or the mu'adhdhin. You write the announcement and leave it outside the mosque. If the owner comes, you give it to him. If he does not come, you give it in charity to the needy, and the reward will be for the owner. Yes.
