I found a goat among my sheep,

Q 4: What is the criterion of judging a Luqatah (a lost item found by someone other than its owner) as something trivial that should be announced for three days or something valuable that should be kept (Part No. 15; Page No. 472) for a year? In general, what is a Luqatah?

A: Anything that is valuable and important to people should be announced; whereas anything that is not valuable or important to people does not have to be announced. This differs according to the circumstances and the states of people. It should be referred to the customary standards. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
