Question
Is there a concept of 'familiar Kohanim' in maaser, meaning I regularly give maaser to someone, and they owe me money, and I feel uncomfortable asking for it. Is it permissible to offset this from the maaser?
Answer
Hello,
If he is in need and eligible to receive maaser, you can offset the debt instead of giving him money directly.
This does not relate to the concept of 'familiar Kohanim'.
