Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on lost property in the Haram?
Answer:
Lost property in the Haram is wealth that has been lost by its owner. Regarding lost property in the Haram, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Its lost property is not permissible except for one who announces it." So if you find lost property in the Haram, do not take it except on the condition that you commit to announcing it and calling out about it until you find its owner. If you do not commit to this, leave it. "Its lost property is not permissible" — meaning the lost property of the Haram — "except for one who announces it," meaning one who commits to calling out about this lost property until he finds its owner.
