Question
Is it permissible to use maaser money to encourage Torah study even for those who do not need charity funds, such as donating to a kollel where there are avrechim whose wives earn adequately, and also giving directly to such an avrech as a reward for an exam, chabura, and the like?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
According to Halacha, we rule that it is permissible to be lenient and give from maaser money also for a mitzvah, and not only for supporting the poor. Therefore, maaser money can be used for any encouragement of Torah study
