Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one finds a sum of money with a child and it is established that it is a lost item, does its ownership revert to the child if a year has passed?
Answer:
No, the child does not perform the rulings regarding lost items; his guardian does so on his behalf. The guardian takes the child's place in what the child finds, as you heard, in that the child's guardian takes his place in announcing the find.
