چکیده:
Drawing upon historical evidence and the hadiths transmitted from Imam al-ʿAskarī, this article analyzes his role in institutionalizing the khums within the Shia community during a period of significant challenges to this obligation. According to the available hadiths, the Imam emphasized the rationale behind the obligation of khums, highlighted its comprehensive scope (including all of one’s income), and underscored its practical importance. He also clarified where khums should be spent by distributing it among Hashemite needy and managed a network of deputies to handle Shiite affairs on his behalf. Undocumented accusations have emerged regarding the reception of khums from sources other than war spoils, such as business profits. Given the lack of research on this issue concerning each Shiite Imam and the historical analysis of various periods of khums, this article contributes by explaining these developments during the Imamate of Imam al-ʿAskarī. This study, conducted using an analytic, historical, and hadith-based method, addresses a previously unexplored area of scholarship
