*Oh Qabisah! Begging is only allowed for three*

🌷 Prophet ﷺ said

 

عَن قبيصَة بن مُخَارق الْهِلَالِي قَالَ: تَحَمَّلْتُ حَمَالَةً فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْأَلُهُ فِيهَا. فَقَالَ: «أَقِمْ حَتَّى تَأْتِينَا الصَّدَقَة فنأمر لَك بهَا» . قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا قَبِيصَةُ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِأَحَدِ ثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةً فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ اجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ قَالَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ حَتَّى يقوم ثَلَاثَة من ذَوي الحجى مِنْ قَوْمِهِ. لَقَدْ أَصَابَتْ فُلَانًا فَاقَةٌ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ قَالَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ فَمَا سِوَاهُنَّ من الْمَسْأَلَة يَا قبيصَة سحتا يأكلها صَاحبهَا سحتا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

 

*O Qabisah! Begging is only allowed for three*

 

* A. man who incurred debts solving disputes, so he is allowed to beg until he collects its amount and then stops.*

 

*B. A man who was inflicted by a disaster that consumed his wealth, he is allowed to beg until he collects what suffices for his livelihood.*

 

*C. And a man who was overcome by poverty, that three wise relatives of his stand up and proclaim, `So-and-so was overcome by poverty.'*

 

_This man is allowed to beg until he collects what sustains his livelihood_

 

🚫 *Other than these cases, begging is an unlawful amount that one illegally devours.*

 

Muslim collected this Hadith.
