Question
Is it permissible to give tithes to parents?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
When parents are in need, it is obligatory to give to them, and they must be prioritized over any other charity.
Moreover, there is no rule against giving all one's tithes to one person in this case, as children are obligated by the commandment of honoring parents.
