AsSalaamun ale kum Dear Agha, I left my homeland and came to a foreign land to earn my livelihood; the rule of the foreign land is that I must return to my homeland once my work tenure is over. In my home land I do not have my own house and if I visit, I stay with my relatives, I’m saving for a basic need which has become very difficult as prices have risen a lot and the return to the homeland is inevitable. I’m the sole earning member and we are prepared as a family that at some point I might have to send my family back and if we are unable to meet family expenses. What is the khums treatment in my effort to meet my basic need where return to homeland is inevitable? I’m under the taqleed of Agha Sistani, I currently work in Gulf and come from India.

Question:
Sir, My husband is a religious man, Alhamdolillah. He does a lot of charity. But somehow he never wanted to pay khums. We had a lot of arguement on this issue. I used to work for quite sometime. That time I asked a lady who knows religion more than me whether I can pay khums from my salary. She said yes you can. I gave khums without telling my husband. Astaghfirullah. But now we both are retired. My husband is sick. We have some saving (FD) and also we get some money in the form of rent every month. How do I solve this problem and what about the years during which I have not paid khums. We follow Aqaae Shistani. I am in a confused state of mind. I donot want to create any problem in the house since my husband is not well. Please advise. Thank you
Answer:
Khums is obligatory on every one who has any thing more than his livelihood
expenses. You must pay Khums for any amount which you saved in every year.
Your husband must do the same but you can not force him. You may tell him
that it is obligatory .

Question ID 2870 Saturday 17th of October 2015
Question:
Asalam-o-Alikum, Hope by the grace of Allah, Muhammad (SAWW) and Aayl-e Muhammad (AS) you receive this email in good health. May Allah gives you strength and encompasses prosperity serving the Ummah. I am in taqleed of Ayatullah Sistani. I have been earning on my own since late 2002 and in between shifted from my home country to Dubai, got married and Alhamdulillah bestowed daughter by Rabul Izzat. During these years all I have earned was to fulfill my monthly expenditure and livelihood. My salary was little and had to rely on loans and credit card for fulfilling necessity and sometimes leisure and things beyond necessity as well. But had not accumulated any saving or investments as such. Till April 2015, I have been into same stream. Later on I changed my job in mid of April-2015 and got my salary for three months in end of July 2015 as lumsum amount (which I saved after deducting all expenditures , rent etc) and since August start receiving my monthly salary as well. Based on above, I need your guidance and way forward to calculate and pay KHUMS on my saving (accumulated from July-2015 till now) and any KHUMS I was supposed to pay earlier, which due to my ignorance or little knowledge on this subject and religious matter has skipped. Truly I believe it’s my ignorance and now need to correct the same. Secondly, I have now decided to set a date (Muharram) of this year to start calculating KHUMS, which I believe will be payable next year before Muharram. Appreciate if you could confirm the same is acceptable and how to proceed and calculate. Thank you in advance and anxiously awaiting your guidance.
Answer:
Accumulated salaries amount is usually used to pay for the debts for
livelihood expenses during those previous months. If any amount remains,
then Khums will be obligatory on it.
Your date of Khums should be same date when you started earning, then one
year after that , you must calculate if you have any amount saved or kind
unused. If you want to start from Muharram, you can do so but after paying
for the period from the start of your earning till Muharram.

The amount which you have invested in a fixes deposit must be calculated

past, i.e. if you have already paid Khums for the amount of investment, you

Khums for that amount in the past, you must pay its Khums on your date of
Khums.

A1. Khums is an obligatory act on every Muslim who has earnings more than
his expenses. The yearly remaining amount must applied for Khums which 20%
of it. This Khums is divided into two equal parts ; one for the Imam who
spends it in serving people and religion, and the second part is for poor
Sadaat who are from the family tree of Bani Hashim.
Khums has been mentioned in Quran ( Surat Al-Anfal, verse 41).
Hundreds of authentic Hadeeths have come from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul
Bayt (AS).

Selling your house: if the house is your residence, and you sell and buy
another house and live in it, then there is no Khums on house of residence.
If the house is not for residence but for any other purpose, Khums will be
applicable on it.
> 4} can i pay my Khums on the first day of the Month of Muharram every year

A4. You must pay Khums At least once every year. You may decide the date
and calculate all your ownership and pay 20% of it. The remaking 80% will
be pure money, and no Khums on it even in the future years. Only additional
amounts on that pure money, will be applicable for Khums in the future.
Keep in mind that Khums is nor a charity or donation, but it is Amanat with
us which must be given to its owners and when we give it, we are not
obliging any one, but giving back the right of other which has kept with us
as an Amanat.

Question:
Salaam Sir, I have £80 000 inheritance money that I wish to buy a house for rental. Is Khums applicable? Can I buy a house and then slowly pay the khums amount over a few years? Thank You
Answer:
There is no Khums on inherited wealth or property if the deceased has
already paid its Khums. If he did not pay its Khums, then Khums must be
paid first before touching the money.
In case Khums was paid, you are allowed to buy a property for rental income
from your inherited money, and use the income for your livelihood, and if
any amount remains from the income, Khums will be obligatory on that
remaining amount.
Wassalam.

Question:
As-Salaamun-Ale-Kum, I stay in a foreign land in a rented accommodation. Our 1 room accommodation in our homeland is not in a condition where my wife and kid can stay, my aunt and my mother are the present owners of the house. Keeping this in view I told my wife before marriage that we will not stay there. The house is on nominal rent divided between my aunt and mother. We are saving to buy a house in our homeland, is khums applicable on this money. Was-Salaam
Answer:
Yes, Khums is applicable because the saved money has not yet been used in
buying a residence and staying in it.
