Is there a sin upon two sisters merely for photographing documents related to an artifact, at the request of someone acting as an intermediary for selling antiquities, knowing that they advised him that this is forbidden? And would they be sinful if the government were to find out? And is the questioner sinful for knowing about the matter? And what should he do?
What a person finds of permissible artifacts in land he owns, he should give one-fifth of it to be spent on zakat recipients, and the remaining is his property to dispose of as he wishes. This act is not forbidden, provided the regulations mentioned in Fatwa no. 70809 are observed.
