What is the ruling on announcing lost items in the mosque?

The questioner : A person whose child is missing, or something like that, comes after the prayer ends and says, "Call out over the loudspeaker for this child, for example." Is this permissible?

The Shaykh : Mosques were not built for this. It is not permissible to call out for children, nor to call out that the preacher or the teacher has arrived at the mosque, so come, O women, and so on. All of this is contrary to the explicit Sunnah. A person may only call out outside the mosque, at the mosque door, so that the people present can hear, or use the loudspeaker in some way outside the mosque. As for using the mosque as a tool for lost matters, there is a hadith here containing a severe warning . This is due to people's ignorance of the Sunnah today, which leads them to violate the Shari'ah.
