Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The imam of a mosque found various books during the Fajr prayer, some of which are religious and others are not, on the mosque door, and they have pictures, and some have pictures on their covers,
Answer:
or what should he do with them? Perhaps their owner forgot them, and he is performing wudu. Perhaps he forgot them and is not in a hurry. He should place them in a location and keep them there until their owner comes, and he should not rush to deal with them.
