Regarding the Huqúqu’lláh … this is applied to one’s
merchandise, property and income. After deducting the necessary
expenses, whatever is left as profit, and is an addition to one’s
capital, such a sum is subject to Huqúq. When one has
paid Huqúq once on a particular sum, that sum is no
longer subject to Huqúq, unless it should pass from one
person to another. One’s residence and the household furnishings are
exempt from Huqúq. Huqúqu’lláh is
paid to the Centre of the Cause.
