The ruling on giving to beggars in mosques and at traffic lights

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on giving to those who beg in mosques or at traffic lights?

Answer:
If you do not know that they are liars, give to them based on their outward appearance. The beggar has a right. He says:
the Messenger, even if he came on a horse,الرسول ولو جاء على فرس،
But if you know that they have resorted to deception and that they are liars, no.
