1. KhumsKhums is the Arabic word for One Fifth (1/5). According to Shia Islamic legal terminology, it means "one-fifth of certain items which a person acquires as wealth, and which must be paid as an Islamic tax". Khums is paid on all items regarded as ghanima, or "spoils of war" and is referred to in the Quran in the sura Al-Anfal ("Spoils"). There is disagreement within Islam about what constitutes ghanima, and thus how far-reaching khums should be. (see below).
