Khums . Money . Employment

Should I pay Khums even though I do not work but am still getting pocket money?

Bismihi ta'ala

In the case of khums payment, it is not dependent on whether you work or not. It is a matter of what you have when your khums date comes. Should you have any savings that you have not paid khums on before, and it is your pure excess and savings from that year, then you will need to pay khums on it.

In addition to this, another case of khums being applicable on you would be items that you own and are new and you have not used.
