Question
Expenses for parents' needs, can they be covered from Chomesh/Tithe money?
Answer
Hello,
If a son has money to give to his parents from his own funds, it is forbidden to give them from tithe money, as it is considered a disgrace.
However, if the son is unable to support them from his own funds, it is a mitzvah to give them from tithe money. They take precedence over everyone else in the obligation of charity.
