EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by AbuHurayrah, the Prophet Muhammad taught that when someone discovers buried treasure, they must pay a fifth of its value as payment. This payment is known as khums and it is an obligation upon those who find such treasures. The purpose of this payment is to ensure that wealth circulates in society and does not remain concentrated in one place or with one person. It also serves as a reminder for people to be generous with their wealth and share it with others who are less fortunate than them. This hadith teaches us the importance of being mindful of our wealth and using it responsibly so that everyone can benefit from it equally.
