Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first group, we did not give them anything. The second group, they received something, but it did not fit, meaning it did not fit the children's feet. So, is it forbidden for them to take it, given that their share did not come from this source? Or are they given these shoes and they dispose of them as they wish, selling them or giving them to their neighbors in their own way, meaning it becomes their property and they do with it as they please? Which do you think?
The Shaykh : By Allah, this, this is what is said in the end.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the beginning of the matter, according to what I understood from you just now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There are people among these whose names came up, and they were provided for from Abu Umajjad's side.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, these are the shoes that remain, which are in their names but have no owner.
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : So, these are given to those people!
The questioner : Yes, and if we do not find them?
The Shaykh : This is the meaning of my words in the end.
The questioner : In the end, that is fine, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : We said: The company that provided shoes by name.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Some of the owners of these names took from the other party.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, the shoes that belong to these names, which were taken from the other party, have no owner.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, those people are given from these. Yes? Have you not received the answer yet?
The student : No, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Why?
The student : I said: The last point, or the final outcome: When it came to those families who had taken from the other party, we offered them to these people as well, but it did not fit them, and it did not fit them along with the extra amount that came to them from those families. Now, regarding their original right, which came from the company, which came in their names, are they given it, or do we look to other poor people who might find it suitable?
The Shaykh : Are they given from the second party?
The questioner : They are not given from it. There are several families, some people were given and some people were not given!
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the final outcome, my brother. How can you say no? Either they take from the company, or they take from Abu Umajjad. If they did not take from Abu Umajjad, is it the one who was first?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, their right in the company is preserved, and they are given it, whether it is their size or not.
The student : And they dispose of it?
The Shaykh : And they dispose of it!
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : By Allah, this, this is what is said in the end.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the beginning of the matter, according to what I understood from you just now.
