4- WHO ARE THE NEAR RELATIVES?

      There are many traditions related by successive witnesses of Sonnies and Shiites; that by the `NEAR RELATIVE', the relatives of the prophet (NOWADAYS CALLED SAYYED) are not meant. If so, Islam will go under the question for racial distinction! What advantage and superiority the prophet's then relatives, and now offsprings, can have over the Muslims? Islam has deeply considered the cases of the orphans, wayfarer, the poor and needy of the community. There are two public purses to make for these social needs. One of the purses is fed by the One fifth of the spoils, and the other by the alms- tax or the tithe; which may amount to one tenth. These two sources of help are technically termed, `KHOMS and ZAKOT'.

      To be fed of the purse of ZAKOT, is declared unlawful for the prophet's relatives. So they may have their share of financial support from the purse of Khoms.
