The Issue of Khums: Acquired Benefits or Benefits in General
Journal Title: فقه و اصول - Year 2012, Vol 44, Issue 88
Abstract
The extent of “benefits”, as the subject of khums, is one of the controversial discourses among the Imāmī jurists, which is of great importance because of its applicability. The “acquired benefits” and “benefits in general” are the two significant views in the discourses concerning khums. In this research, the evidences for any of these two views are critically reviewed. For the first view, two evidences (verses and traditions) and for the second view, four evidences (verses, traditions, conventional connotation, and annulment of specification), are brought up. To the author’s opinion, from among these evidences, the verse on khums and some traditions signify the view of benefits in general.
