Price Increase in Trading Property
Issue No. 1491- If the price of a commodity which one purchases for the purpose of business increases, and he does not sell it on considerations of trade and business, and its price falls during the year, it is not obligatory on him to calculate khums on the increased price. However, if its price remains up until the end of the year, one should pay the khums of the profit, even though its price may fall after the khums year. This is in the case that the end of the khums year is the time for selling it yet he keeps it of his own accord.
