Question

Can one announce when something has been misplaced in the Masjid?

Answer

During the time Nabi Muhammad SAW someone misplaced something and made an announcement, Nabi Muhammad SAW said according to the Hadith in Abu Dawood that Allah SWT must not return the item to the man. When something is lost, a notice should be placed on the black board.
