Question
Hello, I am a young man studying in a large yeshiva. During the vacation period, I worked a bit and earned a nice sum. The question is, am I allowed to give my tithes to my younger brother (small yeshiva)? (He is more diligent than I am, and during the vacation period, he sat and studied and did not work at all)
Answer
Hello,
If your brother is 'in need', meaning he lacks necessary things, it is permissible to give him tithes.
If he is not in need, there is no permission to give it to him as charity. However, it can be given to support his Torah study.
For example, give him an amount for additional study hours, study during vacation periods, and the like.
