Assistance to Children from Maaser Money
Question
Regarding maaser money. It is clear to me that helping a son who is a Torah scholar can be done with maaser money. It is also clear to me that helping children who are in need can be taken from maaser money. My question is: can assistance be given to married children for the improvement of their household from maaser money? (Between us: much of the charity to the poor is also only for improvement...) And if not, can these amounts at least be deducted from the income subject to maaser? Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
If the children are avrechim, it is certainly permissible to give them.
