Q: I give money to charity monthly to Muslim aid. However I never give money to beggars. I just feel they should beg from Allah not men. I also think they may buy alcohol. Another time a chubby person begged money from me, clearly that person didn't need money. I still feel guilty for not giving them money. Should I give them money or is that encouraging them to beg from people rather than the most richest, Allah.
