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.
