Is it obligatory to pay khums on profits that increase and decrease during the year, or should it be calculated based on the increase in the following year? Some say that khums is not due until the next khums year. For example, we are now in the year 1442, and the profits rise and fall. If the profits increase, should I pay khums now, or since they might later decrease, should I wait until the next year (1443) when the profits increase again? Or should I pay khums during this year (1442) without waiting for the next year (1443)? Or should I pay in the new year (1443) and make it a new khums year if the profits increase then?
Answer
In the name of Allah, as we mentioned in the previous answer, it is obligatory to pay khums on every financial gain immediately upon acquiring it. However, the sacred law has permitted delaying it, but not for more than one year. Therefore, adhere to one of the two options: either set a fixed khums year and at its end calculate what remains in your possession and pay khums on it, or pay khums on each financial gain as it is obtained. Allah is the Guide and All-Knowing.
