He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person loses something in the mosque, is it permissible for him to ask about that item from the imam while he is in the mihrab, or from someone near where he is sitting, or is it
Answer:
that if the imam, the mu'adhdhin, or one of the congregation comes out, he asks him outside the mosque, whereas asking him inside the mosque is not permissible, neither a public question nor a private one, yes.
