Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person needed firewood, so he came at a late hour of the night
The Shaykh:
and was surprised.
The questioner:
by the firewood.
The Shaykh:
Firewood, yes, indeed.
The questioner:
He came at a late hour of the night and found the shops had closed, so he found firewood outside a shop and took a bundle. After a few days, he forgot the shop from which he had taken it. What should he do in this situation?
The Shaykh:
He goes to the shop and calls out, asking who the owner of the bundle taken from this place is. He calls out because its owner is looking for it. So, go to the place and announce this, or put a paper on the wall writing an announcement. Yes.
