Khums: Is Money Saved for a Carpet but Spent After Year-End Liable for Khums?

English:

Question #915:

Last year, we saved some money to buy a carpet. Near the last year’s end, we visited shops. One of the stores promised to procure a suitable carpet to meet our requirement and taste. This continued until the second month of this year. As my khums year begins with the solar Hijrī year, would this amount be subject to khums?

Answer #915:

According to the given question the saved money and the said carpet are not subject to khums.
