Giving zakah to women who beg at the mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible to give zakah to the women who sit at the doors of the mosques and ask people?

Answer:
If the one asking is not known to be a liar or to be wealthy, give to him based on his apparent condition, and
within whose wealth is a known right (25) For the petitioner and the deprived -فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ لِّلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
[Al-Ma'arij 70:24-25]
, the beggar has a right. Yes.
