Q 2:
A craftsman
fixed a fan and asked for a fee of six dinars. However, the owner of the fan thought it was too much, and as such, he left without taking the fan or paying the fees. A complete year passed while the fan was with this craftsman while he does not know the owner of the fan or his house. He does not have any idea what to do with it. What is the legal ruling in this regard? Kindly, advise. May Allah bless you.

A:
The craftsman should try hard to look for the fan owner either by his name or any of his acquaintances. If he can not reach him, he is free to sell it and take his fees for fixing the fan and the rest of the money should be used in charitable ways on behalf of the fan owner. If the owner comes back one day and asks about it, he should tell him what happened, and it is up to him to agree or he should be paid the amount of money which the craftsman paid in charity. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
