Question:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, when we entered the city, my son found a toy in the room, in the hotel room. He says he then brought it with him to Riyadh. He asks: Is this lost property? And what should I do with it?
Answer:
If its value is negligible and it has no worth, that is one thing. But if it has value, you must deliver it to its owner. Why are you taking it? Yes.
