Using tithes for medical expenses

Question

Can someone use maser money for medical expenses?

Answer

Hello,

For your own medical expenses, it is not possible to use tithes.

If you are in a difficult financial situation and do not have money for medical expenses, you are exempt from giving tithes during this time.

Tithes can be given to a person in need who requires money for medical needs.
