[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah, it was asked about lost property. He said, "If it is found on a public road or in a central town, announce it to the people for a year, and if its owner comes, give it back to him, and if he does not come, it is yours. And if it is found in a ruin, it belongs to the finder, and if it is found in a well, it is subject to the one-fifth Islamic tax."
