    Do not help homeless people (OP)


    on the street.

    Salam alaikum,

    I spoke with a "homeless" guy in costume walking through a busy intersection and he told me he makes $50/hour.

    Proof

    Only the ones sleeping at night are real.

    Donate to reputable charities which you can find here: http://www.CharityNavigator.org

    Thank you for reading and have a great day.

    There is a whole INDUSTRY of fake homeless people. I am not just making this up. Do a simple Google Search.

    See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSewCBL4_GQ

    Anyway, it is scientifically proven that over 80% of money given to real homeless people is spent on alcohol and drugs.

    The hadith above isn't wrong, just your interpretation.

    I know this in my heart, but if you can't see it that's fine. It is your loss, not mine.
    I think it depends on intentions.

    I may very well give money / donate money to a thief, prostitute or even rich people. It can serve as a dawah.

    For the prostitute, you may save her from prostitution. For the rich, you may make him/her reflect, and rethink about what he uses his/her money for.

    For the thief, it might make him stop stealing, or rethink.

    And yes, there is benefit in giving to prostitutes, and rich people. Idk about thieves, but they may feel guilt, or by your dawah they may turn to Islam, and become Muslims. So with the prostitute and the rich.

    I doubt the prostitute does prostitution because she likes it, and I find rich people chained by their money/not knowing what to do with it.

    Thieves may be poor people who have despaired, or have not reflected. Dawah by giving him money, KNOWING he is a thief, may be excellent dawah.

    So giving them money may stop them from their ways. In shaa' Allah.
    It all depends on intentions.

    Allahu alam.

    Do not help homeless people

    Meaning of Shirk according to The Qur'an
    " Worshipping anyone or anything besides Allah " or " distributing anything exclusive to Allah, to anyone or anything else "

    Meaning of Tawheed according to The Qur'an
    Worshipping none but Allah. Affirming whatever is exclusive to Him, Him alone.

    As for these days, it has been proven through research that most money given the the homeless (real ones) goes to alcohol and drugs. A simple Google Search will clarify this for you. Don't take my word for it.

    This is why I created this thread. I strongly urge you to find reputable charities and donate to them instead of handing your hard earned dollars to someone when it will most likely go towards haram stuff. If you want to help, buy them an unopened snack. If you buy food they will often reject it.
    ..not quite sure.

    the religion was not established in a land of religious people.

    I'm sure alcohol and gambling were a problem.

    ...things are never really black and white..

    and getting over yourself takes a lot of determination, willpower and resilience.

    and self help groups..


    I'm glad you made it.

    it is a testament to the power of God swt.. that we could walk the same earth and meet the same people..

    and yet have entirely different experiences.

    I've seen men move from their paths just to block mine..

    been here too long.



    ...I don't live here.
    ..I'm telling you that's how it is.

    they display none of the characteristics or attributes I would liken to God.

    and if they ever found a plate, they would eat you alive.

    ...I wouldn't mind but they only ever eat around you.

    be warned.

    and apparently no evil will touch them and nor shall they grieve..

    remain steadfast.. and remember those that made the claims.

    al-kafirun.
