Q:
1. Is it ok to give sadaqah to the beggars that stand outside the masjid and on street corners?
2. According to my understanding, in Islam, women are not required to work to provide for themselves even if they are young and fit enough to work. So will it be permissible to give sadaqah to women beggars with this intention or will I be encouraging them to beg?

Q: I had set aside a certain amount of cash to use for a gift that my sister's and I were going to give collectively. A year later my sister was ready to buy the gift, however the gift was less than the amount expected. I paid my portion of the gift. But there is still some cash leftover.

Q: I'm getting married in June Insha-Allah. When my parents were discussing the mahr, I kept a request in front of my in laws and my husband that instead of money I wanted to be gifted with a Surah from the Quran which will hold a value of living a good life after marriage and adding barakah to our life.
