[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he was asked about lost and found items. He said, "If it is found on the main road or in a populated village, then announce it for a year. If its owner comes forward, return it to them. If no one claims it, then it belongs to you. If it is found in ruins, then keep it. If it is found in a she-camel's saddlebag, give a fifth as charity."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمِيتَاءِ وَالْقَرْيَةِ الْجَامِعَةِ فَعَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ فَهِيَ لَكَ وَمَا كَانَ فِي الْخَرِبِ فَفِيهَا وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ»
