The Ruling on Announcing a Lost Item in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner, Ibrahim al-Hamzi from Jazan. He says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade announcing lost items in the mosque and cursed the one who does so. What is the ruling for someone who knows that a person has lost a mobile phone or something similar, so he goes to the mosque, for example, and announces it, saying, "Whoever lost a mobile phone, come and take it"? What is the ruling on this announcement?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Nothing is to be announced; lost items are not to be announced, nor are they to be sought out by announcement. The mosques are to be respected, and this is to be done in the streets and outside the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and reward you with good,
