A person asked Hazrat Ummul Momineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that if someone finds a whip, what should he do? She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: There is no harm in it, a Muslim’s hand has reached it. He asked: What if someone finds a shoe? She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: He may use the shoe as well. He asked: What about a utensil? She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: What Allah has made unlawful should not be made lawful. The rulings of lost property (luqatah) apply to utensils.
