The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you with goodness.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I found one hundred riyals stuck in the bank and I did not find their owner, so is it permissible for me to give them in charity? Thank you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, ask the bank officials, inform them of it. If they are able to find the owner, they should pay it to him. But if that is not possible and it is in your hand now, give it in charity with the intention of the reward for the owner. Yes.
