The Questioner’s Circumstances in Taking Charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner falls into three categories, and there are three states for the one who asks. The first state is that you know he is a liar; in that case, you do not give him anything, but rather you advise him. You say to him, “Fear Allah,” because what is permissible for you… The second questioner is one you know is poor and in need; you give him whatever is easy for you, even if it is just a date. The third is the unknown person; you give to him because of the general principle of giving to the needy, or rather, he may be truthful. Allah says:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:19], and there is no known right cause for the questioner and the deprived.
Answer:
There is no harm. The gathering of brothers—where do they go? It may not be anywhere other than the mosque. The mosque is the gathering place of the brothers, the gathering place of the Muslims. Of course, it is the best deed. The method in the way does not reach him. Yes.

And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.
