The ruling on a shared worker selling an item if he delays beyond the agreed time for delivery

The questioner : The launderers now put things in their washing.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : They write in the contract that if the owner of this garment does not come within a certain period, and they specify that the garment is considered [abandoned].

The Shaykh : This is something else not mentioned by the author, and this is also permissible. They write on it, for example, saying: "We will wash it for you or sew it for you, but if you delay beyond the set period of half a month or a month, we have the right to sell it and take our fee." If he agrees to this, there is no harm.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Hmm?

The questioner : He says: The money is the right of the claimant. He says: If the customer delays, the money is the right of the claimant.

The Shaykh : Correct, the money is the right of the intended party.

The questioner : And where it becomes a gift, a gift.

The Shaykh : It is he who chooses.

The questioner : And they wound them on the trees.

The Shaykh : It is he who chooses, unless it is established that he delayed due to an excuse.

The questioner : This is to be written in the chain of narration.

The Shaykh : It does not contradict [the ruling] as long as Muslims agree on their conditions, and this is a condition among them, because if they did not state its permissibility, the garments would pile up with the launderer or the tailor, and what would they do with them? They are not willing to take them to the judge in the court and say, "Take them," and the judge may not be willing to accept them.
