One night a woman found a goat with her sheep and being a woman, she could not announce it

Q 3: A woman has some sheep. One night she found a goat with her sheep and nobody came to ask about it. Being a woman, she could not announce it. The goat delivered three young goats and the woman sold the mother goat. What is the ruling on the price of this goat and what should she do with the three young goats? May Allah reward you with the best.

A: It is obligatory to return the value of the goat and its offspring to their owner or their heir if he or she is not alive. If this is impossible, you should give it in charity to the poor on behalf of its owner after discounting what you spent on it. (Part No. 11; Page No. 239) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
