He went out and did not find his sandals in the Haram; is it permissible for him to take others?

Question: If a person goes out and does not find his sandals in the Haram, is it permissible for him to take others, knowing that they are collected and then thrown into the place of relief?

Answer: He is not permitted to take anything from people's sandals, except if he finds two sandals of the same type as his own, and there are no others with them. The most likely ruling is that it is permissible for him to take them, because it appears that their owner took his sandals thinking they were his own due to the similarity.
