Khums on Gift and Bestowment
Issue No. 1477- If one receives something as a gift and that property exceeds his own annual expenses, he should, as an obligatory precaution, pay its khums. Similarly, if a person inherits from a person who is a distant relative and he did not know about this kinship nor did he expect such an inheritance, the obligatory precaution here is that he should pay khums on the inherited property.
