Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 411/296=H)

If the gifts were meant for your grandson and they are in his ownership, then Zakah is not obligatory on the cash and gold and sliver until he reaches the age of puberty.

Q. I found some money (1 note of Bangladeshi 500 Taka, equivalent to US $7) at the Masjid premise (that leads to the entrance/exit of the Masjid and Madrasa), on January 18, 2008. Instantly I enquired to few people like Muazzin, Khadem of Masjid and some labours whether they lost any money. They said 'NO'. I thought it was lost from any worker (Madrasa-construction work was going on ) and hence enquired my best but found no one claiming the money. Then I requested the Muazzin to make a decleration after Isha Farz Salaah among the Musallis regarding the lost money. He did so. But no one came or claimed. Then I asked a local Ulama regarding the matter and he replied, I should wait for 2 months. If in the mean time no one came to claim the money, I should give the money to poor people. 1 (one) month has already passed. I'm confused about what to do with that note. Please provide me answers for the following queries on the basis of the written matter: 1). Should I really wait for another 1 month (total 2 months) to find the owner of the money? 2). What other types of decleration should I make to find the owner? Should I make some posters and paste them on the Masjid building? 3). If I can give the money to the poor right now, waiting no further, Should I give all the money to a single poor man/woman or I can give among 50 people at same or more & less proportionate. 4). If someone asks me for a loan of 500 Taka, Can I give him that note of 500 Taka since it's in my pocket for long 1 month without being used , finding no owner? Inshallah I can give the same amount if the real owner claims the money after I give the money to someone as loan. Please, read carefully and provide all the necessary and possible annwers with available options I have. ZazakAllah 1111 views
