What is the ruling on tawaf (circumambulating) for collecting sadaqat (charity) or zakat as the month of Ramadan approaches, and does the ruling differ between an elder and a youth? What is the ruling on earning and spending from it, and what is the ruling on accepting a gift from someone who practices this profession?

Islamic law condemns entering people's gatherings and offices without permission.

- It is not permissible to ask people for money except for the needy person who does not find what suffices him and is unable to earn, and it is forbidden for the non-needy person to ask, and what he takes is considered unlawful.

- Begging is not permissible except for three: one who has undertaken a financial liability (hamaalah), or one whose property has been destroyed by a calamity, or one who has been afflicted by poverty attested to by three people from his community. Anything other than that is unlawful gain (suht).

- Islam warns against asking for charity and forbids it for one who is able to earn or possesses what suffices him, and it is not permissible for him to take it.

- Whoever falsely feigns poverty does not own what he takes, due to the lack of genuine consent from the giver.

- Asking is permissible for the needy if he does not debase himself, insist, or harm the one being asked, and if the giver's motivation is not shyness.

- One who does not work and takes up begging as a profession, accumulating vast sums of money, does not deserve to be given, and what he takes by feigning poverty is forbidden to him.

- Striving to collect charities for the poor is commendable, but the collector must be free from suspicion and safeguard his honor.

- Whoever takes zakat and charities and spends them in ways other than their prescribed legal channels is a betrayer and one who consumes unlawful gain (suht), and the giver must verify those to whom they give.
