Question
Hello. A person needs to renovate their house. There are two contractors: one is a Jewish observant but more expensive, and the other is a non-Jew and cheaper. Is it permissible to hire the Jewish contractor and pay the difference from the tithe money? After all, it is also an act of kindness for that Jew to have a good livelihood.
Answer
Hello
If the Jewish contractor is not poor, you cannot give him tithe money.
Even if he is poor, you cannot give him the tithe as payment, only as charity.
