Question
His father told him that he would add an amount for purchasing an apartment in addition to what he initially committed. His father passed away, and now his mother is receiving compensation payments from his workplace and wants to give her son the amount his father mentioned. Can she include in this the tithe money she is anyway obligated to separate from the money, since her son is a yeshiva student and this will help him study, as stated, or is it considered as repaying a debt with tithe money?
Answer
It is permissible
