Question
May I give maaser to my brother, who is a kollel avrech? His wife is a programmer, but earns just slightly above minimum wage.
They have now bought an apartment with a mortgage, and, with God’s help, a son was born to them. They have many expenses and are under some financial pressure.
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It does not matter where he or his wife work.
If in practice they do not have enough to make it through the month, it is a mitzvah to help them from money set aside for tzedakah.
