Reply To: It’s not only a segula, it’s a mitzvah too!

To me, this issue becomes a Brisker question. Is zdakah a din in the gavra or in the chefttza? If the mitzva is on the gavra then fine, I give my donation! If the mossad or the meshulach are crooked or are con men, that’s on their heads.

So if it’s a din in the gavra, can I go to a fancy restaurant and be mekayem the mitzvah of tzedaka?
