The Definition of the Poor and Needy

Question
What is the definition of the poor and needy in jurisprudence, as stated in the noble verse?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The poor person is one who possesses what does not reach the threshold or its value, from any wealth, even if it is validly acquired. As for the needy, he is one who has nothing. And God knows best.
