Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says: I have some glasses in the mosque, some medical and some sunglasses, that have been lost by some of the worshippers. Some have been missing for a few weeks, others for a month, and some for a year. What should I do with them, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
For the glasses that have not been missing for a long time, wait in case their owners come. As for the glasses that have been missing for a while and you think their owners will not come, if they have value, sell them and give their value in charity with the intention that the reward belongs to their owners, and you will be rewarded for this. May Allah bless you.
