Question : #1181

Subject:	Khums on Deposit Money
Question:	Assalamualaikum I have recently heard that khums has to be paid on money received back that was previously paid for a rent deposit (i.e. apartment or other housing rent deposit). Please provide verification if Khums is obligatory upon receiving back the deposit at the end of rental term. I am under the Talid of Ayatollah Sistani. Thank you.
