Finding money that isn’t mine

Question:

786
Assalamo alaikum wrwb,

Thank you for granting us the oppurtunity to ask a question.
A cousin of mine found money at the cash machine. She called me what she has to do with the money. I humbly ask your advice what is halal with the money?

Thank you in advance. May Allah bless you and your beloved ones.

With high respect and salaams

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

If there is no chance that we can find the owner of money found in such a way, then one may give it as a charity to the poor on behalf of the owner.

Allah knows best.
