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):

Endorsement from Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani

Al-Ayn is honoured to have the support of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani, who has granted us an Ijaza (authorisation) 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 recognised as Sadaqa Maqbootha (Received Sadaqa), with rewards earned immediately.

What is Zakat Al-Fitra and how much should I give?

Zakat Al-Fitra is a form of charity given by Muslims in Ramadan, before the Eid al-Fitr noon prayer. It is obligatory for every Muslim who is able to afford it. The amount is usually calculated based on one sa’a (3kg) of a common staple food in your country (e.g. rice).
If you sponsor an orphaned child through Al-Ayn, according to a religious ruling, it is obligatory for sponsors to pay Zakat Al-Fitra on behalf of the orphaned child they are sponsoring.

What is Fidya and Kaffarah?

Fidya is a compensation for not completing an obligatory fast for a legitimate reason and 750 grams of food (rice) has to be given to a needy person. Al-Ayn has calculated this amount as $2 for each day that a fast is missed.

Kaffarah is a payment that needs to be made when committing certain acts, such as deliberately missing a fast with full knowledge of its obligation, or breaking an oath. The Kaffarah amount for deliberately missing a fast is 750 grams of food (rice) to 60 poor, needy people, equal to 45kg in total. Al-Ayn is authorised to collect Kaffarah and has calculated the amount as $95 for each day that a fast is deliberately missed or broken.

How much Zakat should I give?

Zakat becomes applicable on particular categories of wealth, after it reaches a minimum level, called the nisab.

There are different jurisprudential opinions as to what Zakat is payable on, and how to calculate it. You are advised to consult your local scholar to calculate the amount of Zakat you should pay.

You can also contact us with specific queries about calculating your Zakat and we can arrange for a scholarly response.
