Question
Shalom and blessings, I wanted to ask if it is permissible to use maaser funds to purchase holy books for personal use. And is it allowed to use part of the chomesh [for those who allocate it] for this purpose? Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is not permissible to use charity funds to purchase books for personal study, whether from maaser or chomesh.
