Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man found a sum of money near Zamzam, so what is the solution?
Answer:
If this money has marks by which it can be identified, he should announce it, he should announce it, so that it is identified, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that in the Haram, one should not pick up lost property except for one who announces it, meaning one who calls out about it and identifies it until he finds its owner. And if he does not have the ability, or if he does not remain in Makkah and travels, he should hand it over to the lost property office, meaning the office for lost items; he hands this thing to them, and they take charge of delivering it to its owner if they find him. Yes.
