The Share of The Imam
Issue No. 1566- Khums should be divided into two parts. One part is the share of the Imam (as), and the other is the share of sayyids. The latter should be forwarded as an obligatory precation to the Mujtahid or his representative or should, with the permission of the Mujtahid whom he follows, be delivered to sayyids who are poor or are needy orphans, or sayyids who have become stranded without money during their journey, (though they may not be poor in their own hometown). However, the Imam’s share (as) should be given during the present time, to a just Mujtahid or his representative to be spent for such purposes to which the Imam (as) consents including those that serve the interest of Muslims and needs of Islamic seminaries, etc.
