[0:00]We come to the fourth station and arrive at the following question:

[0:03]"Where The Khums Is Spent?" We will pass through it, God willing,

[0:07]in nine minutes.

[0:08]We left the previous station with two pieces of information: First: Khums

[0:12]is Imam's right and must be spent according to his satisfaction.

[0:15]Second: The deputy of the Imam is the one who knows best

[0:19]about ways of the Imam's satisfaction.

[0:20]If you want to know the meaning of the deputy of the

[0:23]Imam, refer to The Story of Taqlid.

[0:26]What does "The jurist is more knowledgeable about the ways of Imam's

[0:29]satisfaction" mean?

[0:30]It means..

[0:31]that the jurist has a comprehensive understanding and awareness of the needs

[0:34]of society, religious projects, and humanitarian cases.

[0:38]They prioritize these needs according to their assessment and understanding between themselves

[0:43]and God.

[0:44]As for you and me, we are limited by our knowledge of

[0:46]jurisprudence, or emotions, or our awareness of problems.

[0:49]We may remember some things and forget others, and we may be

[0:53]influenced with things we see and neglect other things we don't see..

[0:56]But the Marja..

[0:57]his position, broad knowledge and human connection enables him to have a

[1:01]more comprehensive view and more accurate estimation of interests.

[1:04]In other words, the jurist must have the highest levels of administrative

[1:09]expertise and deep knowledge to preserve both the religion and worldly affairs

[1:12]of the people, without being influenced by emotions or pressured by events

[1:16]in making decisions.

[1:17]In this example, the highest marja in this time, believes that the

[1:21]top priority in a country like Iraq..

[1:24]should be the poor.

[1:25]Therefore, he gave a general permission for all Iraqis to spend khums

[1:29]of their income on the poor in their areas..

[1:32]without sending anything to Najaf.

[1:34]According to the letter we've promised you in the previous station.

[1:37]I'll read this general permit to you, and please get a paper

[1:40]and pen ready...

[1:41]and think about the reasons why the jurist specified these conditions, and

[1:46]what would happen, if everyone took Allah's share out of his wealth

[1:49]to give to the poor in their region according to these conditions?

[1:52]The answer: His Eminence Sayyid (May his extended guidance remain) has given

[1:57]permission to our believing brothers in Iraq until further notice, to spend

[2:03]Imam's portion (peace be upon him) of their dues with the following

[2:08]considerations: First..

[2:09]To spend it on providing the necessary needs for the religious believers.

[2:15]However, spending this blessed portion on other legal uses, requires further permission.

[2:22]Second..

[2:23]To spend it in the same region where the person is living,

[2:26]and not to send it to another region.

[2:29]Third..

[2:29]Not to trust it to anyone else, regardless of who they are.

[2:33]Fourth..

[2:34]To prioritize those who are in greater need over others, if possible.

[2:38]So now you see, despite Imam Al-Ridha's saying "The khums is our

[2:44]support for our religion," which means it is not specific to the

[2:47]poor, but rather for anything that strengthens the religion.

[2:50]The scholar, however, identifies that the most prominent manifestation of support for

[2:54]religion in this era is to help people with their sustenance.

[2:58]Of course, this does not mean to halt religious projects, endorsing of

[3:02]Hauza and the education of scholars, which are certainly among the best

[3:06]ways to please the Imam.

[3:07]Moreover..

[3:08]supporting some academic talents that suffer from financial difficulties, if their work

[3:14]would benefit the community.

[3:16]Indeed, all of this is subject to the assessment of the jurist

[3:19]and his approval of specific and studied resources.

[3:22]However, the lion's share, as they say, remains for livelihood cases.

[3:27]I hope the picture has become clear to you regarding the answer

[3:30]to the question (Where is the khums spent?).

[3:33]It is spent, my friend, in whatever the jurist is confident that

[3:37]the Imam accepts, and he determines the priorities.

[3:41]For example, let's stay in the post-Saddam era, in the last 17

[3:46]years.

[3:46]Amounts of the khums were spent inside and outside Iraq on youth

[3:51]marriages, building hospitals, schools, caring for orphans, providing cancer treatment, providing clean

[3:59]drinking water in some areas, supporting battles and mujahideen, sponsoring new students

[4:05]in the Hauza, assisting patients, and many other diverse fields that delight

[4:11]the heart of the Imam who owns the Khums.

[4:13]Here as an audience..

[4:16]you're gonna ask me this question: If the khums money goes to

[4:20]all these areas, where is its impact on people?

[4:23]Why do we still see the poor, the sick, and the deprived

[4:28]everywhere in Iraq, including Najaf?

[4:32]Actually, you are not the first to ask, nor am I the

[4:36]first to answer.

[4:37]In reality, this question is a subject that all the infallible Imams

[4:40]have focused on.

[4:41]Long ago, Imam Ali used to say: "Indeed, Allah has imposed upon

[4:45]the rich the obligation to provide for the poor.

[4:48]So, the poor does not starve except due to the rich withholding

[4:51]his sustenance." Then Imam Al-Sadiq came after him, but the problem persists,

[4:55]and Zurara asked him the same question, and he replied with the

[4:58]same answer.

[4:59]He said: "Indeed, Allah has imposed upon the rich to provide the

[5:03]poor with what is sufficient for them, even if He knew it

[5:07]is not sufficient, He will increase for them." This means that the

[5:10]problem is not with the distribution of the money if it reaches

[5:12]the Imam, but rather the problem is actually..

[5:15]it's not reaching the Imam, because the majority, deny Allah's share.

[5:19]He also said: "People do not become poor, needy, hungry, or naked

[5:25]except by the sins of the rich.

[5:27]And surely Allah, the Blessed and the Exalted, withholds His mercy from

[5:31]those who withhold His right in their wealth." Ok..

[5:35]Let's see what is Imam Al-Kadhim saying?

[5:37]Harun The Abbasid asked him, "Isn't Khums too much?" The Imam replied,

[5:41]"The One who has given it to us knows that it's not

[5:45]too much for us." And the situation continued until the time of

[5:49]the Minor Occultation, and the last warning came from Imam Al-Mahdi to

[5:52]those who usurped the share of Allah in his letter to Ishaaq

[5:56]bin Ya'qub, which we read in the second station: "And as for

[6:00]those who wrongfully take our property, whoever takes anything from it without

[6:05]permission, then verily, he is eating hellfire." Do you think the problem

[6:09]that wasn't solved during the time of the 12 infallible Imams would

[6:13]be solved in the time of a Marja'?

[6:14]Yes, there are hundreds of millions come as khums.

[6:17]But, how many people are actually commit to it?

[6:20]And how does that amount to anything, in the face of the

[6:22]urgent needs of the people and the governments that have neglected the

[6:25]rights of the people in all aspects of life that come to

[6:29]your mind..

[6:30]or don't?

[6:31]And you are a product of this time, and you see the

[6:34]luxurious hotels, restaurants, malls, luxurious houses, luxurious cars, businessmen, and companies.

[6:41]May Allah increase the livelihood of people, but in all honesty, do

[6:45]they all pay up Allah's share in their wealth?

[6:48]Add to your knowledge that this problem is global.

[6:52]Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and previously the richest man in

[6:57]the world who may return to the top of the list in

[6:59]the future, with a net worth more than 116 billion dollars, he

[7:04]says: "It was not a progressive tax bill, it was a regressive

[7:08]tax bill, people who are wealthier tended to get dramatically more benefits

[7:13]than middle class or those who are poor.

[7:16]The government should require the people in my position to pay significantly

[7:22]higher taxes.

[7:23]The summary of fourth station: Where does the Khums and precisely..

[7:27]the Imam's share go?

[7:28]The first and last answer is..

[7:30]whatever satisfies the Imam and is referred on the assessment of the

[7:35]jurist and his prioritization of needs.

[7:37]This explains why there is constant hammering on the separation of people

[7:42]from the scholars and skepticism towards the integrity of the jurist.

[7:45]Because the power of the marja is based on the people's connection

[7:48]to it.

[7:49]You may like the presence of scholars or dislike it, but you

[7:53]are obligated to recognize that the independence of Hauza and its self-management

[7:58]is a unique example in this era.

[8:00]It is a scholarly entity that does not have an army or

[8:03]police, and has been targeted by many regimes in history, and yet..

[8:08]States crumble and states raise, Hauza endures shocks, yet with all that,

[8:13]it remains steadfast.

[8:15]Why?

[8:15]The reason is..

[8:16]The arrangements made by the Imams for their followers have kept the

[8:19]cleric living in the narrow alleys of Najaf, but the society seeks

[8:23]permission from him in the farthest corners of the world..

[8:26]to spend some money.

[8:28]This planning by the Imams is what created financial and economic independence

[8:31]for the religious authority and reliance on people's trust and faith, suffice

[8:36]them from any political influences or economic support from governments.

[8:40]As you know, there is no free support.

[8:43]The planning of Imam Mahdi, makes the word of Marja based on

[8:47]his conviction before Allah, not based on rulers' taste, for the sake

[8:51]of funding.

[8:52]The arrangements of the Ahlulbayt have given value to the cleric, to

[8:55]the extent, that he is the one who closes his door to

[8:58]the rulers and only opens it when he wills.

[9:02]Thanks for watching!
