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):

VOLUNTEER GRANTS

Multiply Your Volunteer Hours With Dollars for Doers

Volunteer grants, also known as “Dollars for Doers” programs, are charitable giving programs set up by companies to reward employees who give back. For every hour you volunteer with Al-Ayn, your employer may donate a set amount on your behalf, typically $8 to $25 per hour, at no cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VTO and a volunteer grant?

Volunteer Time Off gives you paid hours away from work to volunteer. A volunteer grant is a separate benefit where your employer donates money to Al-Ayn based on the hours you volunteer. Some employers offer one, and some offer both.

How many hours do I need to volunteer to qualify for a grant?

Minimum hour requirements vary by employer, and some companies have no minimum at all. Search your employer above, or check with your HR team, for exact guidelines.

Do I need to submit the volunteer grant request myself?

Yes. Employees are required to submit volunteer grant requests directly to their employer. Al-Ayn is happy to confirm your hours and provide any documentation your employer needs.

What if my employer doesn't offer VTO or volunteer grants?

Let us know. We can provide resources or speak with your HR or corporate social responsibility team about starting a program.
