Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 14838 )
Q1: I am a tailor, and people bring me their clothes. After the work is finished, they do not come to pick up their clothes, and they remain with me for a year or two. Is it permissible for me to benefit from these clothes, or to give them in charity?
A1: It is obligatory to return the clothes to their owners or their heirs if they have passed away,
and if that is difficult for you, you may sell them and take the cost of tailoring from the price, and give the remainder in charity on behalf of their owners.
