If a man spends from his private wealth, there is no harm in that, and he will be rewarded for it if his intention is sound. If he spends from state funds, then the state's silence indicates that he is authorized to do so. Therefore, there is no harm for the poor person in seeking assistance from him for medical treatment or marriage, nor in seeking his contribution to the construction of mosques.
