Ask the Rabbi
- Shabbat and Holidays
- Halachot of Purim
- Mishloach Manot and Presents to the Poor
Question
I shall see my friend only on the night of Purim, can I give her Mishloach Manot then and be Yotze?
Answer
One should make all the effort to give Mishloiach Manot during the day. Therefore as a Purim present you may give at night but it is advisable you send another Mishloach Manot the following morning.
