Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I found a sheep lying on the road, and it was alive. I did not find anyone near it, and I feared it would be ruined, so I took it. He asks: What is obligatory for me to do with it?
Answer:
Do not take it in the town. As for if it is in the desert, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to you, or to your brother, or to the wolf. This is in the desert where no one is there. As for in the town, leave it so that its owners come and take it. Yes.
