Khums and zakat are obligatory duties prescribed by God Almighty upon muslims. The rationale behind legislating these divine obligations is to establish social justice and to provide financial support and essential needs for specific segments of society. During the Prophet’s (pbuh) era and the time of the infallible Imams (AS), the management of these financial obligations was their responsibility. However, there is a divergence of opinion among jurists regarding who holds this responsibility during the occultation period. This disagreement essentially boils down to two main views: (1) the guardianship and management of these financial obligations belong to the just Islamic ruler (Wali al-Faqih); (2) the payers of khums and zakat themselves may expend these funds according to Shariah principles. This paper, adopting the first foundational view, employs a descriptive-analytical and library-based methodology to examine the legitimacy of investing khums and zakat funds based on the principles of Imam Khomeini (RA). It concludes that not only is investing these funds permissible, but under certain circumstances, it may be necessary. Establishing this perspective has significant implications for financing the Islamic governance and addressing the needs of the recipients of khums and zakat, underscoring the importance of this discussion.
