My parents give me 5 dollars per week, but they don't hand it over and I have to ask for permission to spend it. Is it considered mine and do I have to pay Khums from that money?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Money given to you is your money. If any amount of that money remains with you unspent, after one year from owning that amount,then Khums will be obligatory on that remaining amount only.

Will a teenage child be held accountable for eating and spending from money on which Khums has not been paid by their father?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No, as the responsibility of paying the Khums is not on him but on his father.

All family members who eat and utilize money are not responsible to pay its Khums because they are not the owners and Khums is obligatory on the owner only.
