Abstract

The pure Sharia has included what is good for the servants in this world and the hereafter.
God Almighty has prescribed for his servants what will improve all their affairs. This includes
taking care of money, and I have mentioned the texts indicating the rulings related to it. I have
devoted an independent chapter to this under the title of lost property, in which there are
rulings based on Sharia evidence.
The researcher, in order to clarify this research entitled “The lost property; its provisions and
methods of implementation, a comparative study between jurisprudence and Zanzibari
custom”, examined the concept of the lost property in language and terminology, the difference
between it and the foundling, the types of lost property, the care of Sharia regarding the lost
property, its provisions in light of Islamic Sharia, the definition of the lost property according
to the sayings of jurists, with the procedures taken towards the lost property and what is
frequently found in Zanzibari society. As for the conclusion, it contains the most important
results that the researcher reached in this study, such as: that the lost property is the money
lost by its owner, and that defining the lost property is one of the obligatory matters for whoever
finds the lost property absolutely, and that defining the lost property is limited to mentioning its type without its characteristics to facilitate reaching its owner with the possibility of
verifying the ownership of its claimant by mentioning its characteristics.
The proposals for the maintenance of funds were made in accordance with the rules and
regulations of Islamic law, and this work was completed with the grace of God almighty. We
ask him to make it sincere for the sake of his generous face and for the Islamic nation to benefit
from it
