The ruling on asking about a lost item inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is the last question, may Allah reward you. The questioner says: If I lose something inside the mosque and it is valuable, is there any blame on me for asking the people praying inside the mosque about it? And is that considered calling out for a lost item?
Answer:
Yes, this is calling out for a lost item. Do not ask about it inside the mosque. Go out and stand at the door you exit from, or if the mosque has several doors, place one person at each door to say, "Whoever saw such and such," outside the mosque. As for inside the mosque, it is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you
