It has been affirmed in this Hadith which is one of famous Ahadith among Sonnies that there is Khums in Rekaz and as we said and it is understood from its main root and also it has been affirmed in some famous dictionaries like Qamoos, Rekaz has a vast meaning which consists of any kind of asset that is placed and saved in earth, like mines and treasures of former humans that has been buried in lands; and accordingly, some pf Sonni Faqihs like “Abu Hanifa” affirmed that Khums is obligatory in mines and Nisab (minimum needed level or amount) of Zakat is not a condition in this case.1 It has been quoted in the book “Kanz Al-Ummal”, vol.

7, page 65 that Prophet (s.a.) said: ان لكم بطون الارض و سهولها و تلاع الاودية و ظهورها، على ان ترعوا نباتها و تشربوا مائها على ان تؤدّوا الخمس 2 Deep inside the earth, fields and inside the valleys and out of them are all in your hands in order to use their plants, drink their water and pay Khums about them. 1- “Al-Mughani” by Ibn Qudama, vol. 2, page 580, printed in Beirut 2- Makateeb Al-Rasool, vol. 2, page 365, it has been quoted from other evidences.

There is no doubt that here, the purpose of Khums is not Zakat of sheep, because Zakat of sheep is not one fifth. Therefore, the purpose is to use these lands and pay the Khums of its income. It has been quoted in a Hadith in the book “Usd Al-Ghaba” that “Masrooq ibn Wael” came to prophet (s.a.) and became Muslim, and he said I like you to send some people to my tribe in order to invite them to Islam, and please write a letter for them, may Allah guide them all.

Prophet (s.a.) ordered to write this letter: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم من محمّد رسول الله الي الاقيال من حضرموت باقام الصّلوة و ايتاء الزٌكوة و الصّدقة علي التيعة و لصاحبها التيمة و في السّيوب الخمس و في البعل العشر.

In the name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful From Mohammad, prophet of Allah to chieftains of Hadhramut, Orders them to perform prayer and pay Zakat, Zakat is for animal that pastures in fields and the animal that is taken in house for the need of its owner has not Zakat and Khums is obligatory in “Soyoob” and it is obligatory to pay one tenth in palms which grow without the need of water. We will discuss soon about the purpose of Soyoob which Khums is obligatory in it.
