Question:
Shalom Rabbi,
Regarding donating money to someone or an institution overseas (for example in E.Y).
The banks often have an international transfer fee.
I would like to know, would this fee be part of the maaser I am donating or not a part of it – and therefore it would be over and above the maaser money?
Thank you
Answer:
Hello,
The expenses that you incur in order to do the transfer are included in your calculation of maaser.
Best wishes
