Questions about Ma'aser money

Question

I would like to know if I can calculate the amount I transfer every month to “Areivim” as part of ma’aser. And if so, since until now I have not considered it as part of ma’aser, will I need to do a hataras nedarim ? 

Also, may I donate a Shas to a Beis Midrash from ma’aser kesafim? 

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

a. You may calculate the donation from ma’aser.

b. There is no need for hataras nedarim.

c. It is permitted to donate a Shas from ma’aser money.
