وعن قبيصة بن مخارق الهلالي رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : « إن المسألة لا تحل إلا لأحد ثلاثة : رجل تحمل حمالة فحلت له المسألة حتى يصيبها ثم يمسك ورجل أصابته جائحة اجتاحت ماله فحلت له المسألة حتى يصيب قواما من عيش ورجل أصابته فاقة حتى يقول ثلاثة من ذوي الحجا من قومه : لقد أصابت فلانا فاقة فحلت له المسألة ». رواه مسلم.
Narrated Qabisa bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Begging is not lawful except to one of three (people): a man who has become a guarantor for a payment, for whom begging is lawful till he gets it, after which he must stop begging; a man whose wealth has been destroyed by a calamity which has befallen him, for whom begging is lawful till he gets what will support life; and a man who has been struck by poverty, the genuineness of which is confirmed by three intelligent members of his people, so it is lawful for him to beg." [Reported by Muslim].

Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الزكاة، باب من تحل له المسألة، حديث:1044.»©Explanation:
➊ In this hadith, only three types of people are permitted to extend the hand of begging, and that too for a limited period.
Among them is a guarantor (dhamin); even if he is not destitute, it is permissible for him to ask (beg) in order to pay off the guaranteed amount.
➋ For the person afflicted with hunger (famine), the instruction for testimony from three individuals is from the aspect of recommendation (istihbab) and precaution.
Its status is not that of a condition, such that without it he cannot beg at all, as the scholars have stated based on general evidences.
