Peace be upon you. If Khums is obligatory upon me, and I have a mixture of amounts, some of which require Khums and some do not, what should I do if I do not know the exact amounts of each?

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
The obligation is to pay Khums on the certain amount, which is the lesser one (for example, if you are uncertain between 500 and 600, you should pay Khums on 500). As for the uncertain amount, you should reconcile with the authorized representative of your religious authority based on the probability, and it is obligatory to be cautious. If the probability of Khums applying to a certain amount is 50%, then you should pay Khums on half of it.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
The obligation is to pay Khums on the certain amount, which is the lesser one (for example, if you are uncertain between 500 and 600, you should pay Khums on 500). As for the uncertain amount, you should reconcile with the guardian of Khums or his representative.
