Zakat al-Mal
At the time of sunset on Eid ul fitr night (i.e. the night preceding Eid day), whoever is adult and sane and is neither unconscious, nor poor, nor the slave of another, he should give, on his own behalf as well as on behalf of all those who are his dependents, about three kilos per head of wheat or barley or dates or raisins or rice or millet etc. It is also sufficient if he pays the price of one of these items in cash. As per obligatory precaution, he should not give from that food which is not staple in his place, even if it be wheat, barley, dates or raisins. This amount would amount to at least $8 per head. One could also optionally pay the cost of dates or raisins in New York, which is about $15 per head.
Khums: (Sehmain / Both Parts)
Khums is obligatory. In brief, it means paying one-fifth of the surplus of one’s income after taking away the expenses of the person and his dependants. It consists of two equal parts: one being the share of the Imam (Sehm-e-Imam), meaning that this part goes for constructing masjids, Islamic seminaries, Islamic schools, libraries, hospitals or clinics, orphanages, printing of the Noble Quran, hadith books, Islamic books and lectures, and others things which will benefit, defend, or propagate Islam. During the present time Sehm-e-Imam should be given to a Mujtahid, who fulfils all conditions or be spent for such purposes as allowed by that Mujtahid. As an obligatory precaution, that Mujtahid must be Aalam, and well versed in public affairs. The second part is the portion for the poor descendants of the Prophet (Sehm-e-Sadaat) since they are banned from receiving zakat (charity).

روي عن النبي (ص): “مَنْ فَطَّرَ فِيهِ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مَغْفِرَةَ لِذُنُوبِهِ
ها هو شهر رمضان المبارك يعود علينا بالخير واليمن والبركة ، ونحن جميعا مدعون للتكافل والتراحم ، ولعل واحدا من وجوه التكافل والتراحم هو دعوة الصائمين المحتاجين لتناول وجبة الإفطار ، ومؤسسة الإمام الخوئي الخيرية دأبت على تقديم هذه الخدمة منذ أن أنشأت ، إذ تقدم المساعدات لمئات المحتاجين في العراق وباكستان والهند وافغانستان وبعض مناطق افريقيا ولبنان وسواها ، وحتى في الولايات المتحدة .
:وها انتم مدعوون للمساهمة في هذا الجهد المتواضع ، إذ يمكنكم التبرع عبر الوسائل أدناه
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
The Holy Prophet (pbuh&hp) is reported to have said: “Whoever provides iftar [food for breaking the fast] of a fasting person in it [the month of Ramadan], will be granted forgiveness for his sins.”
Here comes the holy month of Ramadan once again bringing us goodness and blessings. We are all encouraged to be compassionate and sympathetic. Perhaps one of the best ways to show compassion is by inviting needy fasting believers to iftar. Imam Al-Khoei’s Charitable Foundation has been providing this service since its establishment as it provides aid to hundreds of needy people in Iraq, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and some parts of Africa, Lebanon as well as the United States.
