I found a small male goat, so I added it to my flock of sheep. When it grew up, I sold it for two hundred riyals. Is that permissible for me?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I found a small male goat among the sheep, a male goat with my sheep. When it grew up, I sold it for two hundred Saudi riyals. Is that permissible?
Another questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet in the first tashahhud?
The Shaykh : It is the same as its ruling in the final tashahhud; both are obligatory.
The questioner : And I sent someone—the previous question—meaning, after the owner of the male goat had taken possession of it and sold it for two hundred riyals, he says: Is that permissible? And I had sent someone to look for him—meaning, for its owner.
The Shaykh : Yes, and did he find him?
The questioner : He did not find him. This question...
The Shaykh : Yes, the answer to this is the same as the answer to the previous one, which is that it is permissible for him to do so. If he knows its owner, he must... Yes.
Another questioner : The owner...
The Shaykh : I am telling you a word now—and do not hold it against me—it appears that time is short, and boredom has begun to creep into you. The evidence of this is that disorder has begun to creep into you. Before, may Allah will it, you were all attentive listeners, and now I hear a voice from here, and one person talking to his companion here, and so on. If you are bored, I am not bored; because I have dedicated myself to serving the Muslims by spreading the knowledge of hadith, the Sunnah, and fiqh. But I do not want you to waste my time in vain. If you are bored, sit down and leave. If you are not bored, listen and do not speak.
Another questioner : We will take a break...
The Shaykh : I have no objection... Let them be as they were.
Another questioner : In an orderly manner.
The Shaykh : Orderly, without disorder. Please proceed.
Another questioner : ... a small sheep... from the scholars, it is permissible for him, I do not know about it, so it grew up with him, and when it grew up, he sold it...
The Shaykh : I said the answer just now, my brother. This story is like that story. He eats the price of this... what did you call it?
Another questioner : A male goat.
The Shaykh : A male goat. He eats its price comfortably and easily. But if its owner becomes known to him later, he must satisfy him. Is that clear?
Please proceed.
