Due to the closeness of Muharam, and the mourning days of Ashura of Imam Hussein(as), I decided to share some of the clips I know about this event's characters, the first one I decided to start with is Wahab(as) who was a Christian and become a Paragon for us all.

(salam) I have these basic questions. 1/When do the regular (i.e. non sayyed) poor people benefit from khums? Do they get a share from the Imam's share? 2/Why is the saadat part dedicated to Sayyeds only? We always read the sadaat part is for sayyeds because they cannot perceive zakat and sadaqa. But if we compare 20% of the Ummah's income excedent (Khums) with Zakat there is surely much more income in khums and I cannnot help but think this is not fair, especially when most shias today do not pay Zakat which is limited to crops, gold&silver and cattle.. 3/ Are there reliable sources about the saadat part being dedicated to Sayyeds only? 4/ Do all Maraji limit the spending of khums to the saadat among Sayyeds ? Thanks in advance, may Allah help us.

A source in the Media Department of the Endowment reported that the manager of the Aid and Charity Fund, Sayyid Abdul Redha Hadi Saleh, confirmed in a press release that 6213 families including those who have orphans, widows and divorced spouses are registered in the Fund. The Shiite Endowment emphasizes to the distribution of subsidies before every religious or national occasion, pointing out to the continuous funding of subsidies until the last day of Eid al-Adha. It is worth mentioning that the assistances received are from the General Commission for investing the funds of the Shiite Endowment in the case of lack of aid from the Ministry of Treasury for this year. The director of the Charity Fund said a registration department will be opened in the Fund and will have one condition which is that the family receiving assistance mustn-t receive any other aid from other funds.
