Using maaser money for things my parents would buy me

Question:

If I am a single working girl and still live at home. Is it ok to use my maaser money for things I would usually ask my parents for but because of financial reasons I feel bad to ask them for it.

 

Answer:

Hello,

Although your parents are very nice to you and buy you a lot of things, they are not technically obligated to do so. Therefore, when you buy yourself things that you want, you are essentially spending the money on yourself. Therefore we can not use maaser money for this. If your parents can't make ends meet, you can buy your mother a dress etc. with your maaser money, because then it is going to them, and he money is not going to yourself.

Best wishes
