  • Question On Khums

    Posted by Zakir Hussain on November 21, 2023 at 4:10 am

    Is khums compulsory on every Muslim who is earning in IT companies today? I earn upto 50k per month. I’m not sahib e Nisab. Do I still need to take out 10 % khums from my salary? I hardly manage my home expenses with this salary. I need to do savings for future also for marriage and medical purposes. Kindly clarify on this. Jazakumuallah

    It is Ushr, not Khums. It is on the salary which is taxable. The taxes deducted from the salary and other taxes are counted as zakat paid to the government. After these deductions, if the amount of zakat is left to be paid, then you can pay the rest amount of zakat. and if the taxes exceed the amount of zakat you were supposed to pay, then you may count as a Nafal Sadaqa or can count if a portion of zakat is paid in advance.
