The question about the person lost in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to ask about an elderly man? He sometimes becomes disoriented and they fear for his life. Is that permissible in the mosque?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible in the mosque. Outside the mosque, he goes out behind the door, and if he goes out to the people, or if there are markets for buying and selling, he calls out there. Who saw so-and-so, who saw so-and-so. But in the mosque, no. In my opinion, yes.
