Khums (one fifth) (2108 words) |
 | Khums (one fifth) We read in the Holy Quran: Know that whatever of a thing you acquire, a fifth of it is for Allah, for the Messenger, for the near relative, and the orphans and the needy and they way farer..... |
| Thus the first khums was not given from the spoils of war, but from a buried treasure (which is one of the seven items eligible for khums). |
| It is apparent, that the Khums is NOT restricted to a booty from a war, as the Sunnis claim; rather, it extends to all of the above issues. |
