Question ID 2332 Wednesday 25th of February 2015

Question:

We do not have a home and stay in rented houses. We have somehow managed to buy a plot of land whose payment is only done partially and we are given time to arrange and complete the payment. In the meantime if the khums date arrives do we have to remove khums for the money given to buy the plot?

Answer:

As you have not yet started living in that proposed house, what ever you
own from the plot, must be calculated for Khums purpose on the date of your
Khums. This will give you more blessings and Barakat and will make you
financial situation much better.
