Question

Is it permissible to conduct Sheva Brachot from Maaser funds?

Answer

Hello,

The answer is divided into several possibilities.

Usually, Sheva Brachot is conducted for someone in the family or a close friend, which is a personal obligation, and it cannot be done from Maaser funds.

However, if it involves a needy couple who have no one to conduct Sheva Brachot for them, and you volunteer to do so, it is permissible to use Maaser funds.

Another common possibility is when someone, due to family ties or other obligations, 'must' conduct Sheva Brachot, such as grandparents - it is customary for them to conduct Sheva Brachot for grandchildren. If they have financial difficulties, it is permissible to assist them in conducting Sheva Brachot from Maaser funds.
