What is the ruling on selling the statues that some Egyptians find in their farms from the Pharaonic antiquities?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a questioner from Egypt who says: In Upper Egypt, some people find in their farmland what is called Pharaonic antiquities, which are statues. Is it permissible for us to sell them? And if the answer is that it is not permissible, how should I deal with them? No

Answer:
It is permissible to sell the statues, and it is obligatory to smash them, it is obligatory to break them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for if the antiquities are not statues, if the antiquities are vessels, or coins, or things other than statues, there is no harm in selling them.
