How your khums is distributed

50%

Sahm al-Imam

Released back to ALI Center by I.M.A.M. for our programming — the classes, gatherings, and services the community relies on. This half is the only part of your khums the center receives.

50%

Sahm al-Sādāt

Stays with the Imam Mahdi Association of Marjaeya (I.M.A.M.), who distribute it to eligible sādāt in accordance with Islamic rulings. It does not come to ALI Center.

You are not obliged to send the sādāt share through us. It may go to any eligible organization, or directly to sādāt you know to be in need — people who are often too embarrassed to ask. If you would rather give it yourself, pay the Imam's share here and direct the other half where you judge best.

The I.M.A.M. office will provide you with a receipt confirming that your religious obligation has been fulfilled.

Estimate your khums

Enter what you hold on your khums date. Everything stays in your browser — nothing is sent to us or saved.

What you hold on your khums date

What is left in hand and in your accounts on your khums date.

Current resale value of pieces kept as wealth rather than worn.

Goods, materials, and capital held in a business you own.

Shares, funds, crypto, and property bought to hold or resell.

Food, household stock, and purchases still unused at year end.

Anything else of value you still hold — a second vehicle, land, valuables — that none of the boxes above covers.

What you spent during the year

Luxury or extravagant spending beyond your ordinary means. Marājiʿ differ here, and travel within your means is usually treated as a living expense — leave this blank if you are unsure.

What you owe

Loans, credit balances, and bills owed at your khums date.

Distributed through I.M.A.M.

This is a starting estimate, not a reckoning of what you owe. It adds up only the figures you type in. It cannot tell you when your khums year ends, carry a balance forward from previous years, judge what falls within your own means, or account for the differences between marājiʿ — and there may well be wealth subject to khums that none of the boxes above asks about. Work through the khums guide and confirm your final figure with I.M.A.M. or the office of your marjaʿ.
