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

Helping children like Rashid this winter

This winter, children like Rashid are bracing themselves for the challenges that lie ahead. While he finds joy in playing in the snow, the reality for families like his is filled with overwhelming difficulties.

Many children lack adequate clothing and heating, forcing them to face the chill in homes that offer little warmth. In Afghanistan, nearly 60% of children live in poverty, making winter particularly harsh for orphaned children like Rashid.

With your help, we can provide the crucial assistance they need to get through the winter period.
