Q 6: A few years ago, I found, in the yard of
Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah),
1000 riyals. I searched for the owner but nobody answered. I decided to give it in charity on behalf of its owner. After I performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) and left
Al-Haram
I purchased some fruits from Makkah, using half of this money.
On the way back, I distributed the fruits among the travelers with me. Is my Hajj incomplete? I heard that a pilgrim who has performed Tawaf-ul-Wada` is not allowed to buy anything from or spend the night in
Makkah.
A:
The Luqatah (a lost item found by someone else) found in
Al-Haram must be announced until it reaches its owner and it is not to be owned even after announcing about it. If someone did not make a public announcement of a Luqatah, they must give it to the authorities in charge of Al-Haram lost objects.
You made a mistake by taking this money. You should return it to the authority in charge of Al-Haram lost objects
and to repent to Allah Almighty for that.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
