Who is given from the fifth? To whom is it allocated?

Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The khumus (one-fifth) is also like fay'; the imam will give from it to both the rich and the poor.

He said: And Layth bin Abi Ruqayyah informed me that Umar bin Abd al-Aziz wrote that the way of the khumus (one-fifth) is the way of the general fay'.

Thabit bin al-Hajjaj said: It reached me that two men of Banu Abd al-Muttalib came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked for wealth from the charity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Not now, but when you see that I have wealth from the khumus (one-fifth), then come to me (and I will give it to you).

Mujahid said: Charity is not lawful for the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They will receive one fifth of the khumus (one-fifth).

It is narrated from al-Hasan that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a man from the fay' wealth ten thousand, nine thousand, eight thousand and seven thousand.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to distribute the khumus (one-fifth). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would provide a mount from it, in the path of Allah, to one man, then to a second, then to a third.
