Lillah and charity

Q:

1. Many a times Muslims beg for money inside and outside the mosque. Should or should I not give them? 

2. I donate money to charitable organizations, but I doubt whether the money reaches the poor.

Q: Is it more rewarding to buy gifts for one's family or to spend that money in sadaqah? (for the person who can't afford to do both)?

Q: What is the difference between Sadqah and Lillah?

Q: From the information I had available to me, I thought a sum of money was haraam interest. I gave this money to the poor without the intention of reward. I was later informed by the bank that in fact no interest was accruing in my account. I therefore gave out halaal money without the intention of reward. Will Allah Ta'ala still reward me despite the intention made at that time?

Q: Last couple of months my wife is very sick and I would like to give out Sadaqa. My question is 1:-What intention I must make? 2:-Can I give this Sadaqa to poor Non Muslims?

Q: Can sadaqah and lillah be given to non-Muslims?

Q: I know I am supposed to listen and obey my parents but I wanted to give sadaqa on a regular basis where the charity takes the money out of my bank account weekly but my dad said not to do that saying we don't have much money and just to put some loose change in sadaqa from my pocket now and then. However, I do feel that I have sufficent funds for my needs and the rest is spare. So what shall I do, shall I listen to my dad or shall I just keep giving on a regular basis from my bank account?

Q: I would like to know if one made an intention to give sadqah to poor people only. Later on he decides to sponsor some items to a musallah. Can he use the sadqah money to purchase these items ? Note that he might even use the items.

Q: Is giving sadaqa a very big reward and is it more rewarding to give sadaqa or lillah?

Q: My question is about sadaqa. Is it allowed in Islam that the meat of sadaqa which is given to a madrasa for orphan Qur'an students is used in meelaad sharif programmes and eaten by rich people?
