Question:
Salam If a husband gives his wife money every month for her general maintenance and living expenses as she does not work and is a housewife, does she have to take out khums on this money if there is a surplus after a year? Or is it the husbands obligation to take out the khums on this money before giving to her? for example if I give my wife £200 each month what value of money should I give to khums? Also if one receives money from their parents at Eid time as a gift; is one required to take out khums from this money if there is a surplus after a year even if the parents are usually paying khums on their money? Many thanks Jawad

Question ID 3434 Tuesday 28th of June 2016
Question:
Salam Alakium. I have the intention to participate in hajj this year. My question is: should I pay khums and zakat of the money because we have not reached the end of the year yet? I have earned all the money this year. I would please like the opinion of Sistani, Khameni and Fadallah. Best regards, Nabil
Answer:
If you earned the money during this year and your Khums date did not come
yet, you can use that money in Hajj or any other lawful purpose, with out
need to pay Khums. Khums is obligatory on your date of Khums or when one
year passes on earning that money if you have no date of Khums.

A1- Khums is obligatory on any new savings and not on the pure amount out
of which had been already paid previously. In your cast Khums is on $1200
> Q2-is it true that once asset/cash becomes pure by only.
removing khums we dont have to remove khums again next year?
A2- Not true. Khums is not Wajib on any amount or asset out of which you
have already paid Khums. Other amounts must be calculated for Khums.
