Reply To: Matanas L'evyonim

Another pertinent question is if you give Matanas L’evyonim on Purim day (or even within a day or so beforehand) with a credit card or check, the funds will not clear (or be taken out of your banking account) in time for use on Purim by the ani. Thus, were you yotze Matanas L’evyonim?

And re: the question in the OP, if you gave the Matanas L’evyonim with the “improper” method (from the two choices in the OP), were you yotze?
