Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
718. Commentary:
➊ In some narrations, it is mentioned that the man entered the mosque and, facing inside, began to say: “Has anyone seen my red camel?” It was then that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said this. [صحیح مسلم ، المساجد ، حدیث : 569]
➋ It is not permissible to make the mosque a place for such announcements. However, if a worshipper comes to pray and mentions his lost item to his companions, there is no prohibition, because this is not considered a formal announcement according to common usage.
➌ In the hadith, only an animal is mentioned, but the same ruling applies to other items that are at risk of being lost; there is no difference between them. However, the announcement of a lost child does not fall under this ruling, because this is not called «ضالة».
