Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding Abandoning Earning a Living and Relying on Begging, and the Warning for the Doer
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3527 — What Has Been Reported Regarding Abandoning
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((الْمَسْأَلَةُ كُدُوحٌ فِي وَجْهِ صَاحِبِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَسْتَبْقِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، وَأَهْوَنُ الْمَسْأَلَةِ مَسْأَلَةُ ذَوِي الرَّحِمِ، تَسْأَلُهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ، وَخَيْرُ الْمَسْأَلَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرٍ غَنًى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ))
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Begging will be a cause of scratches on the face of the beggar on the Day of Resurrection, so now whoever wishes, let him keep those scratches on his face. In this matter, the easiest request is to ask from relatives, but that too should be at the time of need. And the best charity is that which is given after fulfilling one's own needs, and when spending, begin with those under your care.
