Would such a donation be allowed to be from Ma’aser?

 

Question:

Unfortunately, the camp my son planned to attend will not open this summer due to Corona. We already paid a little upon registration. The camp offered to return the money, but they made it clear in that email that they hope we will choose to leave it with them as a donation.

Would such a donation be allowed to be from Ma’aser?

 

Answer:

If when agreeing to leave the deposit as a donation, you have in mind to use maaser, it may be used.
