Announcing lost items for one year so its owner can come and take it back . Paying taxes according to Islamic teachings .

This hadith is about the rules of finding lost items. The Prophet Muhammad was asked about Al-Luqath and he gave instructions on how to handle it. He said that if an item is found in a much-traveled road or in an inhabited village, it should be announced for a year so its owner can come and take it back. If no one comes to claim it after a year then the item belongs to the finder. However, if an item is not found in a much-traveled road or in an inhabited village then it should be subject to Khums or Rikaz which are Islamic taxes paid by Muslims as part of their religious obligations. This hadith teaches us values such as honesty and responsibility towards our belongings as well as being generous with our wealth by paying taxes according to Islamic teachings.
