Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there is a special box for lost items in some mosques. Is it permissible to place this box in the mosque?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but no announcement should be made in the mosque. One should not say, “Whoever lost an item, you will find it in this box.” No announcement should be made about it, and no information should be given about it.
