Should we?

[Ghosty]

Hey guys (and girls - lol!)

I know we have discussed the subject of Eid and how it is closing in on us, but there is a question that lies in my mind everytime of this year.

Now... We are told BY ISLAM to be generous and forgiving and all that. But yet again, we are also told not to fall into a trap set for us twice (la yoldagh el mo2min min nafs el jo7r maratain).

Having said that: what is your position or approach or method of dealing if faced by a beggar on this great day at the gates of your house asking for money and greating you with 28 teeth?

Let's hear your views. I think this should be very interesting. And please, when giving in your views, please elaborate on them. Thank you

And happy eid, once again.. <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

well ghosty .... i dont believe in giving money to the so called poor when they come to ur house all dressed up with full gold on !!1 or when they travel in large groups in taxis !!!! come on it doesnt seem like they are sick or poor when u see them like that !!!
and if u offer them food they get upset !!! i mean if they are so needy then why not take the food !! why insist on money !!

anyway its up to each individual but i dont believe in giving money to such people !! ....

hey ghosty whats ur view on it !!! u didnt tell us <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i have a reluctancy on giving those people the money. i guess it depends on the type of individual. like children for instance, yes. women, yes. men, we rarely get them, but then - half and half. i don't know why, but i don't trust a grown man coming up to you saying he needs money. i mean you can walk, you can talk, you can stand, and there's nothing wrong with you, so why don't you work for your money?

don't get me wrong i do that with women and children too but i still end up giving them the money...
