Question
Someone took my shoes by mistake from the shoe-rack at the Musjid. In another rack nearby was a similar pair of shoes. I waited until all the musallis had departed with their shoes. Only the pair similar to mine remained. I therefore am certain that there has been a mistake. May I use these shoes?
Answer
If you are a poor person, you may use the shoes. It is reasonably certain that your shoes were mistakenly taken. If you are not a poor person, then you may not use the shoes. These shoes are in the category of Luqtah (a lost item found). Give the shoes to a poor person.
