Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many years ago a person gave us some jewellery to sell for him on consignment. However, contact has been lost and the whereabouts of the person are unknown. What do we do with the jewellery? Can we give it away? If we sell it, what do we do with the money?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try to return the true owner. Allah said:<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah instructs you to give back things entrusted to you to their owners. And when you judge between people, judge with justice. Allah\u2019s instructions to you are excellent. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Surah An-Nisa, 4:58) \u00a0 (1)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2nd\u00a0 part you can not give the jewellery away. The prophet (S.A.W.) said:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani through a different chain of narrators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This version has:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) was asked about a find. He replied: Make the matter known for a year; if its owner comes, give it to him, otherwise note its string and its container and have it along with your property. If its owner comes, deliver it to him.\u00a0 Sunan Abu Daud -1707 \u00a0 (2)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3rd\u00a0 part;\u00a0 if we sell it If holding the jewellery indefinitely is not found, Islamic jurists allow it to be given away as sadaqah (charity) on behalf of the owner. This approach ensures that the benefit of the property is not wasted.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Narrated Yusuf ibn \u200fMalik al-Makki:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I used to write (the account of) the expenditure incurred on orphans who were under the guardianship of so-and-so. They cheated him by one thousand dirhams and he paid these (this amount) to them. I then got double the property which they deserved. I said (to the man: Take one thousand (dirhams) which they have taken from you (by cheating). He said: No, my father has told me that he heard the Messenger of Allah (<\/span>\ufdfa<\/span>) say: Pay the deposit to him who deposited it with you, and do not betray him who betrays you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
