What is the ruling on a teacher owning Bluetooth devices that he asked students to purchase for training purposes and which were not returned to them? Does he have to return them to the students or place them in the college?
If the students did not explicitly state that they were leaving the devices to the college or to you, then they must be returned to them. Effort should be made to find them through the student affairs department, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The hand is responsible for what it has taken until it returns it."
