Issue No. 1318- It is sufficient that a person makes an intention every night of the holy month of Ramadan that he would be fasting on the following day; in addition, it is better to make an intention on the first night of the Holy month of Ramadan that he would fast throughout that month.
Issue No. 1320- Regarding the recommended fast, the time for making intention to observe the fast continues throughout the day and it is possible to make an intention of fasting even moments before maghrib provided that one has not committed any act which invalidates the fast.
Issue No. 1322- It is necessary to specify when one wants to fast in other than the month of Ramadan. For example, he should specify it as a qaḍā fast or a fast to fulfil a vow (nadhr). But in the holy month of Ramadan it would be sufficient if he intends to fast the following day. Rather if he does not know that it is Ramadan or he knows but he has forgotten it and he makes the intention of another fast, it will be counted as the fast of the month of Ramadan. However, if he knows that it is the month of Ramadan, yet he intentionally makes the intention of fasting other than the fast of the month of Ramadan, his fast will not be considered as the fast of the month of Ramadan, nor will it be counted as the fast for which he had made intention.
Issue No. 1325- If a person did not know or forgot that it was the month of Ramadan, and did not observe a fast and takes notice of this after ẓuhr or before ẓuhr while he has done some act which invalidates fast, he should, as a sign of respect for the month of Ramadan, not perform any invalidator till maghrib, and should also perform that fast as qaḍā after the month of Ramadan.
Issue No. 1329- If it is obligatory upon a person to observe a specific fast other than that of the holy month of Ramadan, for example, if he has vowed (nadhr) that he would fast on a particular day, and he does not make an intention purposely till the fajr adhān, his fast would be void, but if he forgets and remembers it before ẓuhr, he can make the intention of that fast.
Issue No. 1479- The property received by an indigent person under the title of khums or zakāt is not subject to khums even though it exceeds his annual expenses.

Issue No. 1479- The property received by an indigent person under the title of khums or zakāt is not subject to khums even though it exceeds his annual expenses. In case however, he gains some benefits through this property given to him e.g. if he gets fruit from a tree he has received through khums and it exceeds his expenses for a year he should pay its khums.
Issue No. 1482- If a person purchases a property on which khums is due, his transaction will be void with respect to one fifth of it, unless a Mujtahid or his representative gives permission. In such a case, the khums of the price should be given to him, and if it has been given to the seller, the buyer should take it back and give it to the Mujtahid or his representative.
Issue No. 1489- It is not necessary for a person who has no surplus income to have a khums year.
Issue No. 1490- If a person who has determined his khums year dies during the year, his expenses until his death should be deducted from his earnings, and khums should be paid on the remainder.
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.
Issue No. 1492- If one possesses some goods [other than merchandise], from which khums has been paid by him or it is not subject to khums (e.g., inheritance), if its price increases, he should pay khums on the amount gained after he sells it. Similarly, if a sheep for which he has paid khums increases in weight, he should pay khums from the price increase after he sells it.
