How Khums donations move under religious supervision
- Donor pays Khums via the Society's Razorpay flow or UPI.
- Half (Sahm-e-Imam) is routed to our marja's Wakil for distribution as per the marja's directives.
- Half (Sahm-e-Saadat) is distributed to verified Sadat in the community per fiqh — preference to local Indira Nagar / Lucknow Saadat first.
- Receipts and ledger entries are filed annually for marja-Wakil reconciliation.
Donors with complex Khums situations (Khums-on-Khums, deferred payments, ma'una vs ribh) are encouraged to consult an Aalim before paying — our calculator is a guide, not a fatwa.
