What type of zakat is obligatory on a sum of money a person received for mediating the sale of land that was promoted as containing non-Islamic gold treasures, knowing that he did not see these treasures nor did he take anything from them?
Zakat is not obligatory on earned money unless a year has passed (hawl) and it reaches the nisab, which is equivalent to 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. The amount of zakat that must be paid is one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%).
