Khums

Khums has two halves and they are not interchangeable. The Centre does not currently hold written permission (ijaza) to receive sahm-e-Imam on your behalf, so it is not collected here. Paying it to someone without that permission would not discharge your obligation.

• Khums -- Sahm-e-Imamسهم الإمام

  Sahm-e-Imam must be paid to your marja, or to someone holding his written permission (ijaza). The Centre does not currently hold an ijaza, so it cannot accept this half on your behalf -- paying it here would not discharge your obligation. Use the official channels shown below.

• Khums -- Sahm-e-Sadatسهم السادة

  Whether sahm-e-Sadat requires your marja's permission differs between maraji. The Centre will confirm its position before accepting this half.

Please pay khums through your own marja’s office or an authorised wakil. If you are unsure which applies to you, speak to the Centre’s alim.
