"Is announcing in the mosque about a lost boy or the Imam announcing the finding of lost belongings after ablution considered to be from proclaiming lost items (Inshaad Ad-Daallah) that is prohibited? "

"It is permissible to announce a lost child in the mosque, unlike announcing a lost watch or other worldly possessions, as that is not permissible; due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: ""Whoever hears a man announcing a lost item in the mosque, let him say, 'May Allah not restore it to you,' for the mosques were not built for this purpose."" It is possible to place an announcement outside the mosque or make a direct announcement when women are exiting, or to designate a place to put the lost item in.
