Question

What is the status of assisting beggars who have taken up begging as a profession?

Answer

If it is ascertained that the 'beggar' is not in need and that begging has become his profession, then he should not be given anything. However, if one has no certitude, then give him/ her some food or a small sum, e.g. one rand.
