How to describe a lost item when identifying it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. The person who lost it should mention its type, or simply say "an item," and not add details to its description, so as not to obscure the means of identifying its owner. And the teacher's fee

The Shaykh : What does he say, for example, if he lost a specific watch that has two time zones, two dates, and a coin strap? A car, a car. A car with a leather or metal body, or something similar. Because if he describes it in detail, everyone will claim it. So he should say "a watch." A pen, a general item. Yes.
