Question

Among seminary girls, it is customary for friends to prepare the engagement bar for each other. Can the expenses for the bar be considered as tithing?

Answer

Hello,

If it is a social obligation, and each one prepares for the other, it is a kind of loan that each gives and receives, and it cannot be considered as tithing.

However, if it is something that the engaged girl is actually supposed to pay for herself, but the friends volunteer to do it for her, it is permissible to give from the tithe if the girl is in need.
