This happens alot with the bosnians who come to the uk. One time I was shopping and I didn't put any shoes on my little girl (just socks). And she approached me for money. showing me what a poor state her child clothes and blanket were. I lifted up the blanket and behold a beautiful pair of designer shoes were on the baby's feet.

I showed her my daughter without shoes. And said in Islam we should not beg for money. If you are in need then go to the local masjid and ask for something.

Their is no reason for anyone in the uk to be so broke they need to beg unless they are drug addicts or live in london. The goverment provides so much to these people and even single adults with no children are provided accom. or rental assistance and enough money for food and utilities.

It has come to the point that I am unsure which charity to give money to anymore. So many people are trying to cheat us out of our hard earned cash.
