Is it permissible to hang lost keys at the back of the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is hanging lost keys at the back of the mosque considered the kind of announcement that is prohibited?

Answer:
No, it is not that kind of announcement. Either he leaves them in their place in the mosque so their owner can return for them, or he hangs them on something so he can see them when their owner comes. Announcing by words, such as saying "whoever found such and such" or "whoever lost such and such," that is announcing by words.
