The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If one of the people inside the mosque asks me about the description of a place, where it is located?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
He says: If one of the people inside the mosque asks me about the description of a place, where it is located?
The Shaykh:
A place in the mosque, and not outside?
The questioner:
Not outside.
The Shaykh:
No, this is not permissible. This is like asking about a lost item. This is not permissible. He should go out, and when he goes out of the mosque, he should ask. Yes.

The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
