Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1213/1308/N=1433) If the gold which you got in your house is buried by any man then you should enquire about it to the previous owners of the house whether anyone of them has buried it. If you know the person who has buried it and he tells you any satisfactory sign then it should be given to him. But if the owner is not known as per satisfactory method then it should be given to the poor and needy ones. In both the cases whatever you earned by this gold it should be given in charity. كذا فى الدر والرد (كتاب الزكاة باب الركاز 3:259، 260 ط مكتبة زكريا ديوبند)
