The Rules of Lost Shoes

Losing one’s Shoes

 

  1. If someone’s shoes are taken, and in their place, another pair of shoes are left, then in the event that one knows that the shoes that are remaining are the property of the person who took his shoes, and that person will be content that the person (whose shoes were taken) takes his shoes in place of the stolen shoes, then he can take these shoes in substitute for his own shoes. However, if the value of the shoes that are left behind is more than the value of one’s own shoes, and it is not possible to find the owner of those shoes, then according to Ihtiyat Wajib, with the permission of the Mujtahid, these shoes must be given to a poor person who is not a Sayyid, as Sadaqa.
  2. If the person whose shoes were taken, believes they were taken unintentionally or there is a possibility that the shoes that have been left behind are not the property of anyone who had taken his shoes, and that person (who took ones shoes) is not available, then the person (whose shoes were taken) must look for the owner of the shoes (that remained behind) and in the event that one is not able to find the person, then according to Ihtiyat Wajib, with the permission of the Mujtahid, one must give (the value of the shoes), one behalf of the owner, with the intention of Sadaqa to a poor person who is not a Sayyid.
