It is obligatory to describe lost property in public gatherings

Question: I let my sheep graze, and a one-year-old ewe came back with them. I described it, but its owner did not come. What is the ruling?

Answer: It is obligatory to describe it; not by ordinary conversation with neighbors, but by describing it in public gatherings: "Who owns this ewe? Who owns this ewe?" in the gatherings, or at the water sources, or at the congregational mosques in the town if there are congregational mosques in the town, or at the water sources where they gather: "Who owns this ewe? Who owns this ewe?" until someone comes who describes its characteristics. If a year passes and it is not recognized, it belongs to the one who found it.
And if its owner comes, even after two or three years, and recognizes it, give it to him, or its value if it has been sold or if it has died.
