Question:

AsSalaamun ale kum Dear Agha, I left my homeland and came to a foreign land to earn my livelihood; the rule of the foreign land is that I must return to my homeland once my work tenure is over. In my home land I do not have my own house and if I visit, I stay with my relatives, I’m saving for a basic need which has become very difficult as prices have risen a lot and the return to the homeland is inevitable. I’m the sole earning member and we are prepared as a family that at some point I might have to send my family back and if we are unable to meet family expenses. What is the khums treatment in my effort to meet my basic need where return to homeland is inevitable? I’m under the taqleed of Agha Sistani, I currently work in Gulf and come from India.
