Is there any obligation on the one who finds a lost item and does not take it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man sees a lost item and does not take it, is he responsible for it?

Answer:
He owes nothing; he is not responsible for it unless he takes it. If he takes it, he becomes responsible for it, but if he leaves it, he is not responsible for it. Yes.
