Doubtful Deposit
Question
In the charity fund where I occasionally deposit money, they organized the safe and found a bundle of notes with my name on it. They called me to pick it up. I don't remember this bundle, but there is no doubt that I deposited it. However, I have a doubt that perhaps at that time, the fund returned this amount to me instead of the bundle I left. I don't want to take money that isn't mine, and the fund owner wants to give me the bundle. What should we do?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Since both of you have doubts, split the amount in question.
