Question:
In this question: https://dinonline.org/2017/07/09/checks-found/ The actual question was around checks found that the org. would have owed others (not charitable). I don’t know if these were paid with other checks and the checks I found are “doubles” which were misplaced. Do I need to send the checks? Thanks.
Answer:
Now that you found these checks that may be money that is owedd to these people it would be like Hashoivas Aveida, meaning that if they were written to a Yid, and he will say that it wasn’t paid for then it should be given to him.
