In case of severe financial hardship, can a Musi be granted remission or concession in Chanda Hissa Amad or Hisss Jaidad?

Non-Musi members may write to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih (may Allah be his Helper) to seek a concession or remission in Chanda Aam. Under the Rules of Wasiyyat, however, a Musi cannot be granted remission from Hissa Amad or Hissa Jaidad dues.

Rule 60: Remission of the arrears of Wasiyyat dues cannot be granted under any circumstances.

The only provision available under the Rules of Wasiyyat is cancellation of the Wasiyyat in cases of extreme financial hardship.

Rule 66: The Wasiyyat of a Musi who is unable to continue his Wasiyyat for lack of means shall, upon his request, be cancelled.

Should a Musi later wish to restore the Wasiyyat, Rule 75 applies:

Rule 75: Restoration of a Wasiyyat cancelled under Rule 66 may be considered on the application of the Musi, on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to a new Wasiyyat. It shall further be necessary that:

i. He pays up the arrears of Chanda Wasiyyat due at the time of cancellation.

ii. He has been regularly paying Chanda Aam at the prescribed rate during the period his Wasiyyat remained cancelled.

iii. He pays the difference between the Chanda Aam paid and the Hissa Amad due for the period of cancellation.

Note: If, due to certain circumstances, the person concerned is unable to have his Wasiyyat restored, his application for a new Wasiyyat may be considered by Majlis Karpardaz. In such a case, compliance with clause (iii) above shall not be necessary.
