Is the action of the children considered logical and permissible in emptying a rented apartment and donating its furniture after its tenants have been absent for decades without paying rent or inquiring about the furniture?

There is no blame upon the owner for opening the apartment and benefiting from it or renting it out after the tenant's prolonged absence. It is also permissible for him to dispose of the belongings left therein by giving them in charity or donating them after this period, which exceeds the period for which a missing husband is awaited. However, if the owner's return is expected, it is not permissible to dispose of his property except with the permission of the ruler, unless it is of negligible value, in which case it may be given in charity on his behalf.
