Someone entrusted something to him in the Haram and left it behind; what should he do?

Praise be to Allah.

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:

 He should give it in charity.

 Question:

Is this Luqtat al-Haraam (lost property in the Haraam)?

 Answer:

It belongs to a specific person but he is not known, so he should give it in charity on his behalf. It is not like Luqtat al-Haraam, which refers to property whose owner is not known. And Allaah knows best.
