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
    5. b. Possessions owned by the wife from the dowry (mahr):
    6. i. Cash
    7. ii. Gold Jewellery
    8. iii. Home furniture and the like

What is Khums?

Khums is a 20% Islamic tax on the profit or surplus of income from the previous year. Al-Ayn has obtained through a rigorous process of due diligence an Ijaza that has been signed and stamped directly by Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani himself.

 

Khums is split into two equal shares:

The share of the Imam – Sahm Al-Imam

This part is spent on charitable causes at the discretion of the jurist (marja’a).

The share of the Sayyids – Sahm Al-Sada

This part is spent on those in need from the descendants of Hashim (the great grandfather of Prophet Muhammad).

How are Khums payments spent?

Al-Ayn has permission (Ijaza) to spend 100% of your Khums on orphaned children living in poverty. This Ijaza has been signed and stamped directly by Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani himself.

Your Khums will be spent on providing essential services to orphaned children living in need and lifting them out of poverty. Thousands of people give their Khums regularly to Al-Ayn. You can too.

FAQs

How does Al-Ayn spend Khums donations?

Khums donations received by Al-Ayn are utilised to provide essential financial support to orphaned children, and to support programmes that contribute towards their essential needs.  This applies to both Sahm Al-Imam and Sahm Al-Sada donations*.

 

* Sahm Al-Sada is distributed to orphaned children of Hashimi lineage, defined according to jurisprudential requirements.

Do I still need a receipt for my Khums payment from the office of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani?

Al-Ayn has the support and blessings of his eminence Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani. He has authorised Al-Ayn to receive religious dues of both parts (khums) in Iraq and globally. Receipts issued by Al-Ayn are sufficient in fulfilling one’s obligation to pay their religious dues of khums.
