Customer forgetting to take his change

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If a customer forgets to take his change (like R100) or forgets something at your shop and doesn’t come back to claim it, what should a person do with that item or money?

Bismillaah

A: Keep it and return it to him, and if there is no way to trace him then just give it away in charity to some deserving person on his behalf.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
