Question #882:

Are savings subject to khums in all cases?

Answer #882:

If you save a part of your income, it is subject to khums. Of course, if you save some money for possible events, it is not subject to khums provided that by giving khums, the remaining amount is not enough and the person’s worries are not resolved.
