[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about begging. He said, "Begging is forbidden except in three cases: a man who carries a burden, in which case begging is permitted until he repays it and is able to sustain himself; a man who is struck by a calamity that destroys his wealth, in which case begging is permitted until he finds a means of livelihood or a way to support himself, and then he should stop begging; and a man who is in extreme need or poverty, in which case he should seek help from three wise people from his community, and if they confirm his situation, then begging is permitted for him. Anything other than these cases is considered unlawful."
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ فِي حَمَالَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ حُرِّمَتْ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةٍ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَاجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ لِيُمْسِكْ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ حَاجَةٌ أَوْ فَاقَةٌ حَتَّى تَكَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِلْمِ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَهُوَ سُحْتٌ
