38. “Question: If a person hath, for example, a hundred…”

Question: If a person hath, for example, a hundred túmáns, payeth the Huqúq on this sum, loseth half the sum in unsuccessful transactions and then, through trading, the amount in hand is raised again to the sum on which Huqúq is due—must such a person pay Huqúq or not?
Answer: In such an event the Huqúq is not payable.
