How can one drive away the jinn guarding a place that contains gold in order to take it?
The greatest repellents of jinn are reciting the Qur'an and the remembrance of Allah, especially Surah Al-Baqarah, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Satan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited." Also, Surahs Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Al-Falaq and An-Nas), and the Adhan (call to prayer), due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "When the Adhan is called, Satan turns his back and flees, passing wind."
As for gold: - If it is stolen, it is not permissible to own it, and it must be returned to its owners or given as charity. - If it is a treasure buried during Islamic times, it is a lost item (Luqata) that must be announced for a year. After that, the finder may own it unless its owner is found. - If it is from the pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah) burials, it is considered Rikaz (a buried treasure of unknown ownership).
