Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If one finds a sum of money with a child and it turns out to be lost property, if a lunar year passes, does ownership return to the child?
The Shaykh:
No, the child does not perform the rulings for lost property. His guardian does it for him, as you heard.
The questioner:
The child's guardian.
The Shaykh:
He takes his place in announcing the lost property. Yes.
