QUESTION:

One of the sisters have asked the following question in our meetings,
please can one of the Ulama' answer it, according Sayed Sistani (may
Allah guard him) and Sayed Khoei (may Allah Bless his soul): 

My sister last year sold some boxes of cookies and people paid for them. 
She lost the list of who gets the cookies. So they have been sitting for
a year. I dont know what to tell her to do. She doesnt know or remember
the people she sold to. Will she have to pay Khumus? We assumed eating
the cookies were wrong becuase they are not ours. 


ANSWER:

Since your sister has sold the cookies, she does not have to pay khumus
on them since they are not her property. She will pay khumus on the
income derived from the transaction after deducting all the expenses.
