Zakat Rikaz is a type of Zakat in Islam that applies to treasure or minerals found buried in the ground. It is different from other forms of Zakat, such as Zakat on income or livestock, and has specific rules regarding its calculation and distribution. The word 'Rikaz' itself refers to something that is hidden or buried. According to Islamic jurisprudence, if a Muslim finds treasure, Zakat is due on it at a rate of 20% (one-fifth) immediately upon discovery, without any waiting period (haul). This Zakat is intended to benefit the poor and needy within the community.
