Question
Hello, As a young woman, I want to give my tithes to my parents. Is this permissible according to Halacha, even if they are not needy? Also, is it allowed to give them the amount of money I committed to charity?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is not permissible to give charity to someone who is not needy.
Therefore, if they are in need of money, meaning they do not have enough for their monthly expenses, you should give them the charity, and they take precedence over any other charity.
However, if they have enough for their monthly expenses, you cannot give them from the charity funds.
