Summary
The Segamat District Kadi Office must announce the item by letter to nearby surau and mosques where it was found, for a period of one year. If no one claims it, the item is to be auctioned following the procedure set by the Johor Islamic Religious Council. The proceeds go into a special general-source fund or account, kept separate from other Baitulmal revenue, and are used to develop economic resources and the public welfare of the ummah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pihak Pejabat Kadi Daerah Segamat hendaklah menghebahkan harta tersebut di surau-surau dan masjid-masjid berdekatan dengan barang tersebut dijumpai dalam tempoh satu tahun melalui surat.
