Istifta 15019 — Khums
Some governments are committed to providing housing for the needy under specific circumstances. Is it permissible for a Muslim to buy a house in which he resides for a short time (so that he will not be liable for khums [on that house]), and then he gives it out on rent so he can then go and live in a house subsidized by the government?
Answer
Khums is not waived from a house just by living in it for a short while without actually being in need of it, as has been presumed in the question.
