Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on placing a book or a key, or what some people leave in a high place in the mosque?
Answer:
Yes, if it has value and someone takes it and identifies it, the lost item, whether it is in the mosque or elsewhere, has the same ruling; it is a lost item. If he is known for his trustworthiness and he takes on the task of identifying it, he takes it from the mosque and assumes responsibility for identifying it; otherwise, he should not take it.
