Internatonal transfer fees

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
