A customer sometimes forgets some items in the shop, and they remain for more than a year. Do we give them to the charitable associations?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We are in a clothing store. Sometimes a customer comes and forgets some items in the store, and they remain in our store for a year, and their owner does not come for them. Do they become the property of the store owner after that? Or do we take them to the charity association’s box?

Answer:
Yes, if you give them to the charity association, and if you give them to a needy person with the intention that the reward belongs to the owner, there is no harm. Yes.
