Halachot and Customs
Is it necessary to separate tithes from money received as a gift?
Question
Greetings, is it required to separate tithes from money that I received or money that I got from completing a Minyan, or from a gift? Or only from money I earned? Thank you.
Answer
Greetings,
The custom is to tithe all financial gains, not necessarily only from work; therefore, one must separate tithes even from money received as a gift.
