Question
Hello,
A person has a sum of several hundred shekels that he intends to allocate for tithes on a one-time basis, beyond the regular tithes he gives. He is debating between purchasing books for himself, which will assist him in Torah study, and giving the tithes as a scholarship to a Torah scholar. Is there a preference for a particular option?
Answer
Hello
It is not permissible to buy books for yourself with tithe money.
Therefore, the answer to your question is clear.
