Question:
I have 1/6th share in a business. My other partners are either non Muslims or Sunni Muslims. We are now planning to sell this running business to a third party. I will get 1/6th from the sale proceed that I intend to reinvest in other business. Do I have to pay khums before reinvesting in other business or khums will only be due if sale proceeds remains with me for one year.

If this amount is your only capital for business for livelihood, then you
should invest it in a new business quickly and do not leave it with you
till your date of Khums.

Question ID 2933 Thursday 12th of November 2015
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 .
