Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.
  2. 2) The khums of commercial commodities and real estate(s) which are intended for trading, should be paid in accordance with their current market value, even if they were bought with profits which a year has elapsed on, unless the price at which they were bought is higher than the current value.
  3. 3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
  5. 5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
    1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:
    2. i. Cash
    3. ii. Real Estate
    4. iii. Objects that are transferrable and the like

Endorsement from Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani

Al-Ayn is honored to have the support of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani, who has granted us an Ijaza (authorization) to accept religious dues such as Sadaqa, Khums, and Zakat.
This sacred trust enables us to serve orphaned children with your contributions, ensuring your religious obligations are fulfilled with confidence.

Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani regards donations to Al-Ayn—through Sadaqa Boxes or online—as a transfer of ownership to him on behalf of the orphaned children. Contributions are thus recognized as Sadaqa Maqbootha (Received Sadaqa), with rewards earned immediately.
