Cases in which it is permissible to ask people for money

Question:
The Shaykh’s son (may Allah have mercy on him) declares a person a disbeliever for seeking intercession and for being casual in matters that are not his concern, and he does not care about a person in need who adds money to his requests. Is this included in the prohibition against asking people for money, and is it forbidden? What are the three cases in which the Shari'ah permits asking for money?

Answer:
The first of the three matters is one who bears a burden to reconcile a broken relationship; he may ask until he obtains what settles this burden. The second is a poor person who has nothing to eat and neither do his children; he may ask until he obtains the means of sustenance. The third is one who has been struck by a calamity; a wealthy person who had wealth was struck by a calamity that destroyed his wealth, so he was left with no money. If three people testify that he is in need, that he is poor, and that he has nothing left, then he may ask.
