The Ruling on Giving Beggars in Mosques from Voluntary Charity and Zakah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, beggars have become numerous in the mosques recently. What is the Muslim's position regarding these people? Does he give them from voluntary charity or from zakah? And have the mosques been established for this action, considering that they distract the worshippers from dhikr (remembrance of Allah)? What is the position of the mosque imams regarding this phenomenon?

Answer:
It is a problem, because preventing them might involve a person in need. Perhaps on the day of return, there was one person in need. But we are free from harm, so the one who asks is given, and the one who does not ask is not given.
If he is in need, then it is permissible. If he is not in need, then the sin is upon him, and he asks for embers, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. As for zakah, you look into it. If you see him as strong and free from any skin ailment, then you do not recommend zakah for him, because he is capable of earning and working. But if you see that he is disabled, or that he is unable to earn, or that he is sick, then you give him from the zakah.
