The answer

The responsible authorities should be content with a minimum number of samples for analysis, and return the remaining portion to its owner, after taking his information and specifying a date, place, and person for collection. If the owner of the sample does not appear and it perishes, it should be sold and its proceeds deposited into the Muslim treasury (Bayt al-Mal), or spent on the legitimate expenses of the treasury.
