Khums kya hai aur is ke haqdar kon hain ?| Allama Syed Abdul Basit Bukhari

What is Khums? It is a 20 percent obligatory Islamic tax on some items that we own under specific conditions. Who should pay it? Every individual Muslim who is at the age of puberty and is sane. For the minors, it becomes the parents or guardian’s duty to pay it. On what is it paid? There are various items to which Khums applies. For example treasure trove and spoils of war, etc. But the most popular item in our daily life is the Khums on the surplus of income or on possessions that exceeds our needs. This is what we are going to discuss in detail in this video. What is the surplus of income? As we mentioned Khums is paid on what we own that exceeds our needs. In other words, Khums is paid on the surplus of what we own after spending on all permissible expenses, including the expenses for our dependants. The amount and the level of the expenses varies from a person to another based on his status. For example: Someone owns a two-floor house and he and his family live in one floor. But he regularly has guests and since he uses the second floor for his guests, there will be no Khums on the second floor. Or another person owns a vast collection of books in his personal library that he does not read. Here again, based on his status, for example if he is a researcher who usually requires these books, there will be no Khums even if he does not read them. But if reading and research is not of his interest and he owns these books, he has to pay the Khums on them Finally, know that according to some jurists Khums is not paid on inheritance, a wife’s Mahr and on what Khums has been paid before. When should khums be paid? There are two options on when to pay Khums: First is to pay Khums upon receipt of the gain immediately. This means to pay the Khums on things which you think will be more than what you require The second, which might be easier, is to fix an annual date as the Khums annual date. On this date one should pay Khums on the surplus of what one has for the preceding year. Note On the annual date, one does not have discretion over his belongings on which Khums is not paid, unless he has permission from his Marja of Taqlid. Based on the type of profession, there are three options to fixing the Khums annual date: One, a person who has a permanent profession, like an employee or a trader, can fix his year on the first day that he started his work. Two, a person who has various jobs like the one who is a trader, driver and also is employed. This person is free to either fix different days for each one of his professions or to fix one specific day for all his works combined. Three, for the person who is not working, for each item he acquires his Khums year starts upon the receipt of the item and after one year Khums becomes due on the surplus of the item. In general, in the Islamic laws a person is granted a one-year timeframe to determine whether they really need an item or not. After one year, if that item was required, then there will be no Khums on it, otherwise Khums must be paid on it. For example, if someone buys four shirts during the year but he only uses two of them, then on the annual date he has to pay the Khums for his two extra shirts. Note that using an item itself is not enough to exclude it from Khums, but rather, the usage should be based on a real need according to one’s status and common sense. A real example of a Khums calculation Imagine today is your annual Khums day and you want to calculate the Khums that you have to pay. To make the calculation easier let’s sort the life’s expenditures into major categories: foodstuff, clothing and furniture, property, cash and debts. First: foodstuff — Whatever foodstuffs exist in your possession like rice, sugar, food cans, frozen meat, fish, etc, which is unused and which has a monetary value should be counted and one-fifth of it should be paid as Khums. However, if an item has no monetary value in the market, like a spoon of honey, it can be ignored. Second: clothing, furniture and housewares — Consider your unused or extra items acquired during the last year, one-fifth of them should be paid as Khums. Third: properties and vehicles — if your need in life is, for example, two cars and you own three, you must pay Khums on the third car. Or if you have a house which suffices your need, but you have purchased another home, the latter is considered surplus of your need and the Khums should be paid on it. Note that if someone has bought a piece of land or has bought the material for building a house and it has been with him for more than a year untouched, there are different rulings that apply to it. Please refer to the Islamic Laws book for this issue. Fourth: Cash money – one-fifth of all money that is saved and is in hand needs to be paid as Khums. #khums #khumas #rahenijattv
