Question ID 1569 - Zakat and Khums - 2014-06-29 04:45:01 |
I have received a Khums guide from reputable Shia organisations and there is something that deeply confuses me. There is no mention of subtracting ones expenses from Khums, there is only mention of subtracting the "remainder of last year's savings in which Khums was already paid" from the present years total income. I have never seen this before, can you recommend a step by step guide on how to calculate Khums please? Thank you & Duas. |

Answer:- Khums of every year is calculated from what you have or own now ( which is
the amount of your income minus what you have already spent for livelihood
or usual expenses). If this remainder amount includes previous year or
years amounts out of which you have already paid Khums, then amounts which
are previously purified should excluded, then the new net income only (
which means net savings of this year) is to be applied for this year
Wassalam.
