If you are planning to buy a house and have saved up some money to pay for down payment but the closing date happens to fall two weeks after your Khums date, can you defer your Khums in this case or must you pay your Khums on the date regardless?

If you need to buy a house for livening in it and not for investment, and you have legally and islamically entered in the purchase agreement but the completion (full payment) was after your date of Khums, then the amount of the completion of the purchase is not under your free ownership because you have a binging agreement to pay. This makes that amount out of Khums calculations of that year because it was already committed for buying a house to live in.
