Is everything found buried called rikaz?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is everything found buried subject to zakah and called rikaz?

Answer:
As I mentioned to you, if it bears Islamic marks, it is ruled as lost property because it belongs to the Muslims. However, if it bears the marks of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, it is rikaz. It is the department of fatwa or the judiciary that determines this. Yes.
