It is recommended to give charity to poor women, even if they are unknown and claim poverty, following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with the two men who asked him for charity. Giving to the rich is better than depriving the poor, and this is even more highly recommended for Muslim women residing in non-Islamic countries, to safeguard their honor.
