Question 847: Can 'khums' be paid to someone whose mother is a Sayyida?

✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narration:

1 عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ: وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ سَائِرِ قُرَيْشٍ- فَإِنَّ الصَّدَقَاتِ تَحِلُّ لَهُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ شَيْ ءٌ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ : [ ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبائِهِمْ ]

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 1, p. 540

Imam Kazim (peace be upon him) said in a hadith: 'A person whose mother is from Bani Hashim and his father is from the rest of the Quraysh, obligatory charities ('sadaqat') are permissible for him and nothing from the 'khums' is for him, because Allah the Almighty says (in Surah al-Ahzab, verse 5): [Call them by their fathers]!'

✅From the above narration and others, it is clear that giving 'khums' is only permissible for a person who is a Sayyid through his father, and the mother being a Sayyida is not sufficient.
