If something valuable is lost inside the mosque, is it permissible for me to announce its loss inside the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If something valuable is lost inside the mosque, is it permissible for me to announce its loss inside the mosque, since I am certain it was lost there?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible inside the mosque. Go out of the mosque and call out: "Whoever has lost such-and-such, whoever has lost something, whoever has lost something." There is no harm in saying, "Whoever has lost something in the mosque."

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
But the announcement must be made outside the mosque. Yes.
