The Fay’, al-Anfal, al-Khums, its rules and the properties subject to al-Khums

“The most serious trouble that one would face on the Day of Judgment is when a person with the right to receive al-Khums will stand up and say, “Lord, my al-Khums was paid.” However, we have gifted it to our Shi‘a to cleanse and purify their birth.”

“I was in the presence of abu Ja‘far al-Thani (a.s.) that Salih ibn Muhammad ibn Sahl came and he was his supervisor of endowments in Qumm. He said, “My master, wave to me ten thousand because I have already spent it.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “It is waved in your favor.” When Salih left then abu Ja‘far (a.s.) said as herein below. “Once one of them gets his hand on the property that belongs to Ahl al-Bayt of Muhammad (s.a), to their orphans, their destitute, to their needy and to those of them who become needy on a journey and then he comes to us and says, “Wave it in my favor.” Do you think I can say, “No, I will not wave it in your favor?” By Allah, Allah will soon ask them on the Day of Judgment without any concession.”
