Notes

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) 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) 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) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:
2. i. Cash
3. ii. Real Estate

VOLUNTEER

We Need You

Al-Ayn’s head office is in Dearborn, MI and we have offices in New York, Texas and California, and coordinators across the nation.

Wherever you may be, we are always seeking volunteers across a wide range of areas within the charity. Whether you have specialist skills you would like to share, you want to gain work experience, or you would simply like to be hands on with gifting your time, we need you.

3 Reasons Why You Should Volunteer

It gives you a chance to ‘give something back’ – to your local community, an organization or cause that you care about, or the wider public. We know from feedback that this is an important motivation for our members to volunteer.
It develops your ability to work as part of a team. Volunteering is rarely a completely solitary experience and it can give you a chance to see how you contribute to a team in a different context to your usual work environment and role.
Volunteering helps counteract the effects of stress, anger, and anxiety. The social contact aspect of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological well-being.

One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time.
