Unclaimed Cheques
What should the bank do with outdated, unclaimed cheques issued in favor of clients whose accounts are now dormant?
It is permissible to give these funds away in charity after the bank has made every attempt to contact the client. If the owner returns after the funds have already been given away, he must be informed of what was done and if he still demands payment he must be reimbursed from the general shareholder's account.
