Question:
As Salaam Ale Kum, Before my khums date I invest some capital in a fixed deposit which is to pay me a specific amount after 3 years, how do I calculate khums on this ?
Answer:
The amount which you have invested in a fixes deposit must be calculated
with your Khums calculations if that amount was not paid for Khums in the
past, i.e. if you have already paid Khums for the amount of investment, you
will not need to pay Khums again for that amount, but if you did not pay
Khums for that amount in the past, you must pay its Khums on your date of
Khums.

Question:
As Salaam Alaykum Syedna, My mother is connected with a charitable organisation in India, where they run an orphanage for ithna ashari orphans as well as educating poor ithna ashari children and getting ithna ashari girls married. The charity also has various other charitable projects like giving food parcels before the start of Ramazan. Can I give my khums contributions, both sehm e Imam and sehm e Saadaat to this charitable organisation as they do a lot of good work. Unfortunately there are very few charities especially for poor of the ithna ashari community, and Anjuman e Soghra could do with all the help they can get. Thank you very much, Ma Salaam, Rebab Al Karimi
Answer:
If the charity has a valid documented permission from the Marje of Taqleed
to receive Khums, you will be able to give them Khums.
Please provide the name and address of the charity so that we can
co-operate with them.

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.

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.
