Question:
Is it permissible to pick up lost property in Mina, Muzdalifah, and 'Arafah during Hajj?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade picking up the lost property of a pilgrim. If one finds lost property in the Haram, he must announce it indefinitely, and it does not become his property, unless it is found outside the Haram in 'Arafah on the road. In that case, it is also safer to announce it indefinitely or give it to the committee. This is because in some authentic hadiths, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade picking up the lost property of a pilgrim. This covers the lost property of a pilgrim in the Haram and outside the Haram. He should announce it indefinitely or give it to the court until its owner comes.
