Answer	1)If a person cannot prepare all the dowry for his daughter at the time of her marriage, and has to do so over a few years, and if it is deemed unbecoming for him not to give away any dowry, Khums will not be liable on what he purchases during the year, provided it is within his means. But if he exceeds his means, or spends the profit of one year to buy the dowry in the following year, he will pay its Khums. 2)If a person acquires wealth without having worked for it , like, if someone gives him a gift, and that wealth exceeds his own annual expenses, he should pay Khums from the excess. (Ref: Ayatullah Sistani(d.b),Tauzeehul masail 31st edition, maslah # 1723, 1747)(Khuda aap ki tawfiqaat mein izafa farmaye).
