Nonexistence of Difference between Business and Income
Issue No. 1476- There is no difference between businesses and incomes. However, if a person borrows something (e.g., money) from another person, there is no khums due on it. Similarly, there is no khums on the property that one receives as inheritance, unless it is known that the dead person did not pay its due khums, or he owes khums for other properties and estates. In the case of the value of the inheritance increasing, khums should be paid on the surplus if the khums year has reached it.
