The ruling on one who uses a lost camel until it perishes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I am the owner of camels, and a camel from the lost camels comes to me, but I drive it away, and it does not leave my camels, and consequently I use it, such as riding it and traveling with it, until it perishes?
Answer:
This is not permissible for you. Even if it comes to your camels, you must drive it away, or hand it over to the one in authority, the prince in your land, or the judge of the court, so that you are safe from its harm. If you use it, you are liable for it, and you owe its value to its owner, or to the public treasury, to be spent in the causes of good, because you have disobeyed your Lord in sheltering it, riding it, and using it.
