Question

For the purpose of tithing, if someone has multiple investments and businesses, should each business be calculated separately, or should the total monthly income be considered?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

It is permissible to combine all businesses together, as the tithe is on the person and not on the business. If there is a loss in one business, it can be offset by the profits of another business.

May there be blessings in all your businesses, a good year, and good livelihood.
