Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I came out of one of the lessons and found a new book on my car, even though my car is somewhat far from the water. So, what do I do with this book? Knowing that I suspect one of the brothers may have gifted it to me.
Answer:
If it is most likely in your mind that it is a gift, then it is a gift. If it is not most likely in your mind, then it is a lost item. Yes. Yes, you tell your brothers: Has anyone lost a book, other than in the mosque? Yes, other than in the mosque, has anyone lost a book?
