To take profits for purchasing spare parts

Q 2: In 1400 A.H., a Sudanese brother worked for me. I do not know his name, or his address and I still owe him 800 SR. I have not seen him since he left me. What should I do with this sum of money? I need your advice to rid myself of responsibility. May Allah protect you.

A: If you do not know him, his address, or anyone who knows him, you should give this sum of money in charity on his behalf. Afterwards, if you meet him, it is up to him either to accept what you did and be rewarded for the charity or to take his money back and in this case the reward of the charity will be yours. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
