Money left with the depositor

Q 2: My neighbors had a servant who used to give me some money to buy her things. She once gave me three hundred Riyals, but then she left the country without taking her money back. What shall I do with this money, given that I do not know her whereabouts?

A: If the servant traveled and you do not know her whereabouts, you can ask the recruitment office that brought her to your neighbors about her. If you know her address, you should send the money to her; otherwise, you can give this money as a Sadaqah (voluntary charity) on her behalf. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
