What is the ruling on placing an announcement for the purpose of calling out for lost property in the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Naturally, searching for a lost item in the mosque is a violation of the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh : It is not searching, but rather calling out for lost property.
The questioner : Calling out for lost property, yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So, is it possible, for example, to hang an announcement in which we call out for lost property, for example?
The Shaykh : No, what compelled you to put the announcement in the mosque? Put it outside the mosque.
The questioner : Ah, outside the mosque.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But in the courtyard of the mosque, meaning from the outside, is that possible?
The Shaykh : Outside, outside the mosque, first, before entering the mosque, put it on the doorposts of the mosque door from right to left, outside the mosque.
The questioner : Yes, good; I have another question, is that possible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, but this contradicts your first statement.
The questioner : That it?
The Shaykh : That it is the last question.
The questioner : The last question is about that point of the white thread.
The Shaykh : Ah, that one, that is a nice patch.
The questioner : ... I mean.
The Shaykh : Yes.
