Making Use of the Property of One Who Does Not Pay Khums

question| Is it permissible to make use of the property, including foodstuffs, of a person who does not pay his khums?
answer| It is permissible to make use of the property, including foodstuffs, of a person who fails to pay khums. Yet, should the appropriate conditions for enjoining good and forbidding evil (al-amr bi al-maʻrūf wa al-nahy ʻan al-munkar) be present, one is obligated to remind him of his duty and exhort him to pay khums.
