Question ID 1494 Thursday 12th of June 2014

Question:

Assalamu alaikum, I have a question regarding zakat and khums. My annual zakat and khums that I need to pay is due in August. However, I am currently saving money to buy a house to live in which I may buy in September (Allah willing). My question is do I still need to pay zakat and khums on these savings for the house, even tough this would means that I will no long be able to buy the house in September and will have to wait long to save the money again? Jazakallah khair ul jazaa, wal salaam.

Answer:

As far as you did not buy and reside at the house ich you intend to
buy, all the money which will be with you on the date of Khums, must be
calculated for Khums purpose.
