What is the ruling on giving charity to beggars, and is there a reward for that?

Allah has called for spending and giving in His cause and has promised a great reward to those who spend. "Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] annoyance will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve." This is among the excellences of Islam, which has drawn the attention of the benevolent to the deprived and the distressed, for in their wealth there is a known right for the beggar and the destitute. This clarifies the great reward for those who give charity to these individuals.
