Question
I wanted to ask what happens if I gave money to charity and only afterwards remembered that I need to give tithes. Can I retrospectively calculate the charity I gave as tithes? And if so, how long after can charity be calculated as tithes?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
All the charity you have given is considered as part of the tithe amount.
The obligation of tithing is a measure and part of the mitzvah of charity, and not a separate mitzvah.
