He found a watch in Makkah and he picked it up and left

29-12-2007

Question 8109

When I went for Hajj, I found a watch in a washroom in Makkah. I forget and took it, then I went to Mina, ‘Arafah and Muzdalifah. Then someone told me that there are places where found items may be handed in, but I wasn’t able to reach them. What should I do with the watch?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

You have to send it to the court in Makkah and tell them that you found it on such-and-such a day in such-and-such a place.
