The answer

It is impermissible for a wealthy or strong person capable of earning a livelihood to beg from people, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Charity is not permissible for a rich person nor for one who is strong and healthy."

Begging is permissible for one who incurs debt to reconcile people, or for one afflicted by a disaster that impoverished him, or for one struck by extreme poverty or a compelling need.
