The ruling on giving in charity money found in a workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, he says: I am a worker at one of the clothing stores. One day, I found five hundred riyals next to the cash register. I then went to the camera room and saw it fall from one of the women. I kept it for a period of time, but she did not return to the store. So I sent it to one of my needy relatives with the intention of giving it as charity on behalf of the owner of the money. Is my action correct?
Answer:
If Allah wills, we ask Allah to accept it. Yes.
