Question:
Salam un Alykum, We dont have any savings at the end of the year. To bear big expenses of my house and children I take part in Committee(BC) in which I deposit small amounts for 20 months and then after 13-14 months my turn comes and I get my deposit of 20 months in one go. I then spend it and do not save it for more than a year. Is it liable for a Khums? Wassalam
Answer:
If all your earnings are spent for your livelihood within the year, then no
Khums.
Wassalam.

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 ID 2586 Tuesday 16th of June 2015
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.
Wassalam
