Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I found a tafsir book placed on a board hanging in the school, and it suggests that someone found it and picked it up. It was written on this book: “The endowment of the parents.” His question is: Is it permissible for me to take it to benefit from it, or am I required to place it in one of the mosques, or what should I do? My brother,
Answer:
leave it in its place; Allah has not burdened you with anything regarding it. Leave it on its board in its place. Perhaps its owner will come for it, and you do not know. Or we put it with someone who says to him: “It passed by you, so take it.” Leave it in its place. Yes.
