SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei answered a question about Khoms.
Question: A person needed a house and has bought it, and for some reasons cannot reside in it or has rented it for a period, then has given up occupying it and sells it, assuming that in this period a Khoms year has passed; what is the ruling on Khoms for it (the house)?
The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei: Residence is not a condition, as long as it is needed and is suitable for the owner, by the passage of Khoms year for it; it is considered as life expenses and has no Khoms, even after sale.
