Sadat who are not Eligible to Use Khums
Issue No. 1573- Khums cannot be given to a sayyid who is not a Twelver Shi‘a, nor can it be given to a person whose maintenance is obligatory on the giver, like his own wife who is sayyid. However, if it is obligatory for the woman to pay the expenses of others [whose maintenance is not obligatory on the husband] it is permissible for the husband to give khums to her, so that she may meet their expenses.
