Answer	If a person purchases household accessories with the profit earned by him before paying Khums, it is not necessary for him to pay Khums on them if their need ends after the year ends. There will no liability of Khums if their needs cease to exist during the year, but they must be those articles which are kept for many years, like the winter and summer dresses. Other than these, Khums will be, as an obligatory precaution, liable as soon as their need is over. ( Ref: Ayatullah Sistani(d.b),Tauzeehul masail 31st edition, maslah # 1751). (Khuda aap ki tawfiqaat mein izafa farmaye)
