I have owed Khums for two years and have not been able to pay it until now. I want to settle my Khums, and I am wondering if I can pay all or half of it to my husband for him to undergo surgery.

Peace be upon you.
Regarding the handling of Khums funds, please refer to the following question:
As for the delay in paying Khums:
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
It is not permissible to delay the payment of Khums beyond the end of the Khums year, even if it can be paid later. If one is unable to pay Khums, they should consult the guardian of Khums or their representative to obtain permission to pay it in installments according to their ability.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is not permissible to delay the payment of Khums as it constitutes unlawful appropriation. If paying what is owed causes severe hardship, one should consult an authorized representative of His Eminence (may his shadow endure) to obtain permission for that.
