Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque, and I found riyals inside the mosque. What should I do with them? Knowing that I have had them for about two months now?
Answer:
If it has a mark by which it can be identified, keep it and announce it. Announce it, and if its owner comes and describes it by its distinguishing mark, give it to him. But if it has no marks by which it can be identified, give it in charity to those in need, and its reward will be for its owner. Yes.
